I know that if you use a QEMU > instance, you can enable the dump using "-netdev dump,...". Libvirt does not support the QEMU netdev dump feature at this time. Best bet is to just connect tcpdump to the TAP device associated with the virtual machine in question. See the XML config for the name of the currently assigned TAP device Regards, Daniel -- |: http://berrange.com -o- http://www.flickr.com/photos/dberrange/ :| |: http://libvirt.org -o- http://virt-manager.org :| |: http://autobuild.org -o- http://search.cpan.org/~danberr/ :| |: http://entangle-photo.org -o- http://live.gnome.org/gtk-vnc :|
