How to monitor IEC 61850 traffic?

There are several applications that can be used for monitoring IEC 61850 traffic in the Ethernet network. But there is one free-of-charge option everyone should know about.

How to allow tagged GOOSE and Sampled Values frames to be passed to your packet capture software?

When configuring GOOSE and Sampled Values communications it is useful (and sometimes is a must) to have the possibility to check VLAN and Priority tags. Whether your network adapter driver strips tagging or not will define the availability of these parameters not only while using Wireshark, but also other specific tools for analysis of GOOSE and Sampled Values traffic (Omicron SVScout, Omicron IEDScout, GOOSE Inspector, etc.). Today we will see how to make Intel network adapters not to strip this important info.
