Sharing the Database Among Multiple Wiretap
Servers
When you have many Wiretap servers, you must update the path translation
database on each server every time there is a change to the network
configuration.
To simplify the management of the database, you can create a symbolic link
from the path translation file on all hosts running the Wiretap server to one
machine that contains the actual file.
Testing the Path Translation Database
After the path translation database is updated by the system administrator, it
must be tested. The sw_wiretap_translate_path command verifies that a
path requested from the Wiretap server on the local machine can be translated
into a path that can be understood by the client machine.
The syntax of the command is the following:
sw_wiretap_translate_path[-h <host name>] [-p <path>] [-f
<file containing paths>] [-H <destination host name>] [-O
<destination OS>]
The command options are described in the following table.
DescriptionOption
Specifies the host name or IP address of the Wiretap server. The default is localhost.-h
Specifies the path on the Wiretap server host to translate.-p
Specifies the file containing the paths on the remote host to translate to the path on the
local host, delimited by new lines.
-f
Specifies the destination host name. The default is localhost.-H
Specifies the destination operating system (Linux, Windows NT, Mac OSX).-O
NOTE Either -p or -f must be specified, but not both.
