Host Enter the IP address or host name of the target platform where the Remote Packet Capture Protocol service is listening. The drop down list contains the hosts that have previously been successfully contacted. The list can be emptied by choosing “Clear list” from the drop down list. Port Set the port number where the Remote Packet Capture Protocol service is listening on.

Leave open to use the default port (2002). Null authentication Select this if you don’t need authentication to take place for a remote capture to be started. This depends on the target platform. Configuring the target platform like this makes it insecure. Password authentication This is the normal way of connecting to a target platform. Set the credentials needed to connect to the Remote Packet Capture Protocol service.
Do not capture own RPCAP traffic This option sets a capture filter so that the traffic flowing back from the Remote Packet Capture Protocol service to Wireshark isn’t captured as well and also send back. The recursion in this saturates the link with duplicate traffic. You only should switch this off when capturing on an interface other than the interface connecting back to Wireshark. Use UDP for data transfer Remote capture control and data flows over a TCP connection. This option allows you to choose an UDP stream for data transfer. Sampling option None This option instructs the Remote Packet Capture Protocol service to send back all captured packets which have passed the capture filter.
This is usually not a problem on a remote capture session with sufficient bandwidth. Sampling option 1 of x packets This option limits the Remote Packet Capture Protocol service to send only a sub sampling of the captured data, in terms of number of packets.
This allows capture over a narrow band remote capture session of a higher bandwidth interface. Sampling option 1 every x milliseconds This option limits the Remote Packet Capture Protocol service to send only a sub sampling of the captured data in terms of time. This allows capture over a narrow band capture session of a higher bandwidth interface.
