How do I monitor WAN traffic?

  • retag add tags

I would like to monitor WAN traffic on a specific IP, how do I do this?

WireShark is inside the network (LAN).

Thanks.

you would need a TAP or a monitor port if your equipment supports it. some routers will support capturing as well.

i did a video on cisco port mirroring, if that helps https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=af4d_...

Thanks for the link, it was useful to see, although my setup is different it still does help. I need to do more searching on a TAP and a monitor port to understand more.
