flow-capture
Example 2
The following example is identical to the previous one, except that instead of using the stop command,
the capturing process continues until the defined time limit is reached.
1. Define the limits (flow-capture controllers max-l4-payload-length and flow-capture controllers
time).
2. Define the recording traffic rule (traffic-rule with action flow-capture option).
3. Start the capture (flow-capture start).
(The show command shows that recording is in progress.)
4. Capture concludes automatically after 45 seconds.

Example 3
In this example, instead of using the stop command, the capturing process continues until the defined
file-size limit (128 MB on the SCE8000 platform) is reached.
1. Set the limits back to the defaults (default flow-capture controllers max-l4-payload-length and
default flow-capture controllers time).
2. Define the recording traffic rule (traffic-rule with action flow-capture option).
3. Start the capture (flow-capture start).
