im trying the command tcpdump -i em0 > traffic.log and i get the response tcpdump: (no devices found) /dev/bpf0: No such file or directory im doing it as root. this is a dell poweredge 2850 and we are using the standard gigabit network cards that came onboard. here are the details on the nic em0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 options=b<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU> inet 192.168.245.246 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.245.255 ether 00:13:72:56:aa:ca media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX <half-duplex>) status: active in my dev directory em0 is mapped to net1. when i try the same command with net1, i get the same thing.
