Deselect the 'Stop task group on failure' option.Ģ.2 Next, click on ' Add additional task'. Leave the timeout setting as is if it doesn't take more than 10 seconds to execute the command. Uci set _dump='0' & uci commit & /etc/init.d/tcpdebug reload pcap file to make sure it doesn't take up all the space on the device.Ģ.1 First task type is ' Command', it will disable the tpcdump logging.

Create a second task group, this one will disable the tcpdump service, then download the file and then it will delete the. Deselect the 'Stop task group on failure' option and save the task group.Ģ.

Please note that tcpdump can fill up router RAM very quickly if there is a lot of traffic and it may slow down the device to a crawl if left unchecked - make sure that the tcpdump runs only for as long as it needs to, otherwise disable the service and remove the file (or reboot the router) after downloading it on RMS. As an example, I'm leaving a brief reply regarding the configuration of this case. It would be possible to accomplish this by enabling tcpdump on any selected device and downloading the file using task manager on RMS and issuing uci commands.
