Transferring Collected Data
SLV user history statistics and LMI packet capture data can be uploaded to an
NMS or a Network Associates Sniffer using FTP, which is faster than other
methods. The rate at which the data file is transferred is the rate set by the
FTP Max Transfer Rate (Kbps) option (see Table 4-14, Telnet and FTP Session
Options in Chapter 4,
Configuration Options) .
NOTES:
Use your NMS application to FTP and view transferred statistics and packet
data; the data files are not in user-readable format. LMI packet capture data
can also be viewed via the LMI Trace Log (see
Viewing Captured Packets
from the Menu-Driven User Interface
in Chapter 8, Troubleshooting , for
additional information).
