# SPDX-License-Identifier: CC-BY-4.0 How to configure wireshark for dissecting LTE/NR protocols: - start the wireshark as a sudoers - goto analyze->enabled prototols => enable mac_xxx_udp and rlc_xxx_udp (xxx is lte or nr) - goto edit/preferences and expand Protocols - select UDP and check "try heuristic sub-dissectors first" - select MAC-LTE (or MAC-NR), and check all the options (checkboxes), and set the "which layer info to show in info column" to "MAC info" - select RLC-LTE (or NR), and check all the options except the "May see RLC headers only", and set the "call PDCP dissector for DRB PDUs" to "12-bit SN". Optionally you may select the sequence analysis for RLC AM/UM. - select PDCP-LTE (or NR) How to use - start eNB or UE with option --opt.type wireshark --opt options are: --opt.type none/wireshark/pcap --opt.ip 127.0.0.1 to specify the output IP address (default: 127.0.0.1) output port is always: 9999 (to change it, change constant: PACKET_MAC_LTE_DEFAULT_UDP_PORT in OAI code) --opt.path file_name to specify the file name (pcap) - capture on local interface "lo" - filter out the ICMP/DNS/TCP messages (e.g. "!icmp && !dns && !tcp")
