Running the RealPort dump (rpdump) program on Solaris

Steps on setup:

• Kill the Portserver daemon.
  ps -ef | grep ncxd
  kill -9 "PID_NUMBER"

   

• Manually start the daemon. Change the IP to the IP of the server you are on and use a different socket id (771), "4000" is used in the example below.
  /opt/realport/sparc64/ncxd -d /dev/digi_realport0 -i 10.1.1.1 -p 4000 &
  • digi_realport0 = First realport daemon (0).
  • 10.1.1.1 = Solaris server that realport is running on.
  • -p 4000 = Realport tcp socket id.

     

• Run rpdump.
  /tmp/rpdump -pa -l 4000 -P 2 -o /tmp/file.rpd 10.1.1.92 &
  • -pa = Send all data to the output file.
  • -l = Socket id.
  • -P # = You may want to use this to monitor specific port(s). Remember that the first port = 0. So port 3 on the TS would mean "-P 2".
  • -o = File to write to. This can only be read by rpdump.
  • 10.1.1.92 = IP address of the Portserver.
  • -h = Man pages for rpdump.

     

• Run "rpdump -i" to read /tmp/file.rpd.
