1.$ tcpdump host sundown
This example shows how to use the tcpdump utility to display
all packets arriving at or departing from host sundown.
2.$ tcpdump host sundown and ( hot or ace )
This example shows how to use the tcpdump utility to display
traffic between sundown and either host hot or host ace.
3.$ tcpdump ip host ace and not helios
This example shows how to use the tcpdump utility to display
all IP packets between ace and any host except helios.
4.$ tcpdump net office
This example shows how to use the tcpdump utility to display
all traffic between local hosts and hosts on the network
office.
5.$ tcpdump gateway snup and (port 21 or 20)
This example shows how to use the tcpdump utility to display
all FTP traffic through Internet gateway snup.
6.$ tcpdump ip and not net localnet
This example shows how to use the tcpdump utility to display
traffic neither sourced from nor destined for local hosts. If
your network is connected to one other network by a gateway,
this command does not produce any results on your local
network.
7.$ tcpdump tcp[13] & 3 != 0 and not src and dst net localnet
This example shows how to use the tcpdump utility to display
the start and end packets (the SYN and FIN packets) of each TCP
conversation that involves a nonlocal host.
8.$ tcpdump gateway snup and ip[2:2] > 576
This example shows how to use the tcpdump utility to display IP
packets longer than 576 bytes sent through gateway snup.
9.$ tcpdump ether[0] & 1 = 0 and ip[16] >= 224
This example shows how to use the tcpdump utility to display
IP broadcast or multicast packets that were not sent using
Ethernet broadcast or multicast.
10$ tcpdump icmp[0] != 8 and icmp[0] != 0
This example shows how to use the tcpdump utility to display
all ICMP packets that are not echo requests or replies (that
is, not PING packets).
11$ tcpdump -s 1500 -envv ip6 and udp port 521
This example shows how to use the tcpdump utility to display
all RIPv6 packets.
12$ tcpdump -s 1500 -envv ip6 and ether host a:b:c:d:e:f
This example shows how to use the tcpdump utility to display
all IPv6 packets arriving at or departing from a host with the
Ethernet address a:b:c:d:e:f.
