| The following instructions apply if you have a Linux or FreeBSD platform and |
| want libpcap to support the DAG range of passive network monitoring cards from |
| Endace (http://www.endace.com, see below for further contact details). |
| |
| 1) Install and build the DAG software distribution by following the |
| instructions supplied with that package. Current Endace customers can download |
| the DAG software distibution from https://www.endace.com |
| |
| 2) Configure libcap. To allow the 'configure' script to locate the DAG |
| software distribution use the '--with-dag' option: |
| |
| ./configure --with-dag=DIR |
| |
| Where DIR is the root of the DAG software distribution, for example |
| /var/src/dag. If the DAG software is correctly detected 'configure' will |
| report: |
| |
| checking whether we have DAG API... yes |
| |
| If 'configure' reports that there is no DAG API, the directory may have been |
| incorrectly specified or the DAG software was not built before configuring |
| libpcap. |
| |
| See also the libpcap INSTALL.txt file for further libpcap configuration |
| options. |
| |
| Building libpcap at this stage will include support for both the native packet |
| capture stream (linux or bpf) and for capturing from DAG cards. To build |
| libpcap with only DAG support specify the capture type as 'dag' when |
| configuring libpcap: |
| |
| ./configure --with-dag=DIR --with-pcap=dag |
| |
| Applications built with libpcap configured in this way will only detect DAG |
| cards and will not capture from the native OS packet stream. |
