If your looking to monitor startup traffic from the box I would think it would be better to setup Wireshark on another system and attach that box to a hub / tap / span port / ect. That way you can get everything that happens on boot.  If you don’t know when the system will reboot you can also set up a ring buffer for the capture so it will always be running with out killing your disk space.

Just a thought

Please advise me how you could start Wireshark automatically and use it to monitor network traffic at each boot-up.


Just add the line "wireshark&" to /etc/rc.local
