All rights reserved.General Packet Capture ModeContinuous Packet Capturing- Capture all packets that meets the condition that set by users in a fixed packet buffer.- Packets are stored in the ring-type buffer and dropped in first-in
4、first-out basis. Depending on the equipment vendor, capturing could stop whenever the packet buffer is full. - Packet buffer size can be adjusted by usersTriggered Packet Capturing- Packet capturing starts only when triggered condition meets.- Capture stops after packet buffer is felt- Users might b

6、packets to look for- Be aware of promiscuous mode being set by default, especially in the Ethernet case,it capture everything on the wire. Ensure correct physical layer property setting and L2 Protocol- Eliminate the possibility for not being able to capture packets due to CRC or Scrambling incorrec
7、tly set- Set with correct L2 protocol, it helps the packet analyzer to decode packet with correct packet format as cases like encapsulation PPP/HDLC 2001, Cisco Systems, Inc.

A Supervisor 720 or a DFC3 capable card. On which prompt do I start it ? Either RP or SP prompt. How many packets can I capture
10、 ? ONE How do I find the packet that I need ? By setting a trigger. How do I find out which ASICs are available ?sh platform capture system asic Remember, ELAM only captures on superman and tycho asic! 2001, Cisco Systems, Inc.
