I'm sure you'll find it is already there. I don't think there is a un*x that doesn't come with tcpdump

The tcpdump program is included in the base*.tgz fileset, and should have been installed already. The tcpdump(8) man page is included in the man*.tgz fileset.

I'm guessing you're using a shell which does not have /sbin or /usr/sbin in it's $PATH variable.

Edit: I just doublechecked, it's in /usr/sbin.

If you want to know if a commands ready to execute in your shell, use type or which. If the systems configured for it, the locate and whereis commands might also be suitable for fighting installed programs that might not be in your path:

Code:
Terry☺@vectra☺$☺ type tcpdump
tcpdump is /usr/sbin/tcpdump
Terry@vectra$ which tcpdump
/usr/sbin/tcpdump
Terry@vectra$ locate tcpdump
/usr/sbin/tcpdump
/usr/share/man/cat8/tcpdump.0
Terry@vectra$ whereis tcpdump
/usr/sbin/tcpdump
Terry@vectra$
