Packet Capture and Decode

There may be times when you want to view the contents of packets that traverse the network, perhaps to drill

down deeper into the source of a problem or just to do your own analysis. Having the ability to mirror traffic

from any port on the switch or any interface on a branch router to the NAM for packet decode is an extremely

convenient option. This feature comes with configuration options to optimize the collection of data to meet

your needs as well as options to filter packets after you have collected the data. In addition, you can view the

entire contents of a packet, all the headers as well as the data payload, in either plain text format or in

hexadecimal format. You can also save your packet capture to a file in a standard format for import into

utilities such as application profiling and modeling tools.
