We are using a 4 Port GB-Eth Card for Capturing - unfortunately
all of those ports are named exactly the same
If this is on UN*X, it's probably not *exactly* the same, as there's
probably an adapter number in the interface name, and there are
probably no adapter descriptions, so they'd be "eth0", "eth1", "eth2",
and "eth3", or "xyzzy0", "xyzzy1", "xyzzy2", and "xyzzy3", or
something such as that.
If this is on Windows, there *are* probably adapter descriptions,
which are probably the same for all adapters, so I suspect this is on
Windows.
- it`s difficult
to find out to which device the interfaces are connected.
Is there a chance to change this Capture Interface Naming ? (CAPTURE -
INTERFACE)
Yes.
Select Edit -> Preferences, select "Capture" from the preferences
dialog, and click the "Edit..." button next to "Interfaces:". The
dialog it displays should list the adapters. Click on an adapter, and
change the "Comment:" field to be the name you want for that adapter.
When you're done, click "OK".
That should cause Wireshark to display the names you chose for the
adapters.
