NSX CLI Guide
set capture session <session-number> interface <port-uuid-name> direction <capture-direction> [core <core-id>]
Configure a packet capture using the specified interface. You can
run this command multiple times to configure multiple interfaces
on the same packet capture session. On a LAG interface, LACP packets
will also be captured when the direction of packet capture is ingress or dual.
To run the packet capture using this configuration, use the
set capture session <session-number>
[file <filename>] [count <packet-count>]
[expression <expression>] command.
If you need to capture packets from only one interface, you
can configure and run the packet capture with a single command:
start capture interface <interface-name>
[direction <direction>] [file <filename>]
[count <packet-count>] [expression <expression>].
Use the get capture sessions command
to see all configured capture sessions.
