Using Network Packet Captures

Administrators can analyze traffic with this feature that allows packet captures for selected interfaces or a single interface.

To capture network packets:

1. Go to the Administration > Diagnostic page and click the Packet Capture.

2. Select the appropriate interface(s) from the Interface column.

3. Complete the following fields:

• Specify IP address on which to capture packets

• Specify a port on which to capture packets

• (Optional, check box if using) Capture packet limit (Mb) (Default: 500Mb)

• (Optional, check box if using) Capture time limit (min) (Default: 30 minutes)

4. Click Start Capture. The elapsed time displays. The capture stops when the maximum files size of 500Mb is reached, unless a smaller size was configured in Step 3.

5. If necessary, click Stop Capture to stop the packet capture before reaching the maximum file size.

6. When the capture finishes, check the check box of the captured file and select an action:

• Click the icon in the Action column and open or the capture file.

• Click the Delete icon to delete the selected generated files.
