Note: If you do not assign any file name to the TCPDump, the CLI gives a default name
mgmt_traffic_dump.cap. The CLI enforces .cap file extension to the TCPDump file.

Note: TCPDump has file size limitations. The limitations are based on the following factors:
• Platform Type — whether TCP Dump is stored on the local drive of C20, C100/C1000 or C2400
controllers.
• Storage destination — whether TCPDump is stored on the local drive or the CF card.
The following matrix provides the size limitations for various types of platforms and the two storage
destinations — CF card and the controller’s local drive.
If you try to save the TCPDump file that is bigger in size than what is described in the above matrix,
the CLI will return the following message: File size is bigger than the available space.
