Hi Guy Harris, Thank you for the reply.
My goal is to have a web interface and capture traffic and print in on the screen live but only when a certain command string is supplied. As stated, I need that web interface to be run over a Linux bridge box. For the time being, I only need this web tool to run the traffic dump over the br0 interface of that bridge with something like the following options: tcpdump -enn -i br0 vlan 999 Can you provide further information about how we can go about implementing this setup?
