You can immediately start a capture using your current settings by selecting Capture → Start or by

cliking the first toolbar button.

• If you already know the name of the capture interface you can start Wireshark from the command

line:

$ wireshark -i eth0 -k

This will start Wireshark capturing on interface eth0. More details can be found at Section 10.2, “Start

Wireshark from the command line”.

4.4. The “Capture Interfaces” dialog box

When you select Capture → Options… from the main menu Wireshark pops up the “Capture

Interfaces” dialog box as shown in Figure 4.1, “The “Capture Interfaces” dialog box on Microsoft

Windows” or Figure 4.2, “The “Capture Interfaces” dialog box on Unix/Linux”.

Both you and your OS can hide interfaces

This dialog box will only show the local interfaces Wireshark can access. It will also

hide interfaces marked as hidden in Section 10.5.1, “Interface Options”. As Wireshark

might not be able to detect all local interfaces and it cannot detect the remote interfaces

available there could be more capture interfaces available than listed.

It is possible to select more than one interface and capture from them simultaneously.
