Wireshark-users: Re: [Wireshark-users] strange ping behavior

Are you capturing packets on a span-port? If so, do you span a vlan? Please note that every packet enters the switch and leaves the switch on a vlan, so if you capture packets in both directions when spanning a vlan, you will see every packet twice. The remedy is to either span a specific port in both directions or span a vlan and use only the incoming packets.

Cheers,


Sake
