Hi Guys,

Don't know if it's possible, but I would like to capture CDP packets over USB C. I have HP Elite X2 and unfortunately it doesn't have Ethernet port so I am using I-TEC USB-C/RJ45 converter. Looks like I am getting USB traffic, but is there any way to convert it to more usable data?

CDP is a protocol that runs over Ethernet; it doesn't directly run over USB.

libpcap supports capturing raw USB traffic on several platforms; if that's what you're doing, that's probably not the best way to capture protocols running over Ethernet, such as CDP.

If your "converter" is really a USB-based Ethernet adapter, it should show up in Wireshark as an Ethernet interface. Try capturing on that rather than on a USB bus.
