Wireshark (that's Ethereal's new name: http://www.wireshark.org/faq.html#q1.2 ) only dissects Fibre Channel when it's encapsulated with: Cisco's special encapsulations of Fibre Channel frames in Ethernet frames (for debugging trace purposes); CNT's "Cross Point Frame Injector" encapsulation of FC in UDP packets; RFC 3821 FCIP; T11's proposed Fibre Channel over Ethernet encapsulation. We don't currently support any encapsulation for "raw" FC frames. Are you trying to capture a Fibre Channel trace on an FC network (rather than an Ethernet or other non-FC network where one of the encapsulations listed above are used)? _______________________________________________ Wireshark-users mailing list Wireshark-users@wireshark.org http://www.wireshark.org/mailman/listinfo/wireshark-users
