Packet Capture - Navigation Menu
The packet capture feature enables you to collect packets from a data source that you have defined and then
view the results of your collection, packet by packet.
The packet capture menu offers many options for filtering the packets you wish to capture and is easy to use.
The options you need to consider when capturing packets are how much of the packet you want to capture
(header and payload), as well as filtering options to limit the number of packets captured. You can filter traffic
on a pre- and post-capture basis and, of course, you need to select your data source. When you finish
capturing data, you can either decode it by viewing the capture or download the packets into a file for analysis
by other third-party tools, such as application profiling and modeling tools. Alternatively, to expedite the
capture configuration, many monitor reports allow you to select a table entry and use the contents as the
basis for a capture configuration.
