I am very excited when finding fibre channel decoding feature in

I wish to see how can ethereal decode fibre channel packets,
but I can not deviced a cap file including fibre channel protocol,
so can you help me to generate such a file
Wireshark (that's Ethereal's new name:
http://www.wireshark.org/faq.html#q1.2
) only dissects Fibre Channel when it's encapsulated with:
Cisco's special encapsulations of Fibre Channel frames in Ethernet
frames (for debugging trace purposes);
CNT's "Cross Point Frame Injector" encapsulation of FC in UDP packets;
RFC 3821 FCIP;
T11's proposed Fibre Channel over Ethernet encapsulation.
We don't currently support any encapsulation for "raw" FC frames.
Are you trying to capture a Fibre Channel trace on an FC network (rather
than an Ethernet or other non-FC network where one of the encapsulations
listed above are used)?
