To launch Protocol Analyzer from
Internetwork Monitor
1 Select one host or conversation.
2 Choose Tools➤Packet Analysis… or use mouse
button 3 to select from the pop-up menu.
When you launch Protocol Analyzer from Internetwork Monitor, the
context of the internetwork view is passed along to the Protocol Analyzer
application. Table 25 on page 216 describes this context, which depends
on the selected item and the current filter.
When launch capability is available, the mouse pointer changes to a
“space shuttle” icon. The launch feature is not available when:
● you are viewing a model.
● multiple items are selected.
● when a non-routing interconnect device (“pseudo device”) is
selected.
● when a segment is selected.
● when the segment is being monitored by a data source that does not
support RMON’s Filter and Capture groups.
● when viewing data from archive files.
● when an unmonitored segment or any item in such a segment is
selected.
When launch capability is not available, the assist line (in the lower left
corner of the window) indicates the reason.
