Configuring Packet Capture

The Packet Capture feature allows users to capture network traffic on selected interfaces for analysis. It provides configurable options to define capture duration, file size limits, & interface.

Accessing Packet Capture

1. Navigate to Configuration > ASN > Packet Capture.

2. Select the device for which you want to capture packets.

3. Configure the capture settings as needed.

Packet Capture Options

• Capture Duration (ms): Specifies the duration in milliseconds for which packet capture will run. The value can range from 1 to 10,000 ms..

• Capture File Size Limit (MB): Defines the maximum file size for the captured packets before it stops capturing. The value can range from 1 to 1,000 MB.

• Capture Interface Config: Allows selecting the interfaces (ports) from which packets will be captured, supporting both received (RX) and transmitted (TX) traffic.

  • RX/TX File Name: Defines the filenames for received (RX) and transmitted (TX) packets.
