Send wireshark capture directly to a file

Hi,

Is it possible to get the capture result sent directly to a file, without being cached in the RAM ?

I want to perform a capture for a customer, the PC will be connected to the core switch, and the only possible filter on the switch is to limit the data sent to a VLAN instead of all.

The problem is that, even by sending only one VLAN data, it is the core switch and the amount of data is tremendous, so the PC RAM cannot handle a capture that last more than 2 minutes. This is why we are looking for a way to send the capture data directly to the HD.

Hope you will be able to provide with a tip.

Have a nice week.
