4.6.1. Remote Capture Interfaces
Figure 4.4. The "Remote Capture Interfaces" dialog box
You have to set the following parameter in this dialog:
Host Enter the IP address or host name of the target platform where the
Remote Packet Capture Protocol service is listening.
Port Set the port number where the Remote Packet Capture Protocol
service is listening on. Leave open to use the default port (2002).
Null authentication Select this if you don't need authentication to take place for a
remote capture to be started. This depends on the target platform.
Configuring the target platform like this makes it insecure.
Password authentication This is the normal way of connecting to a target platform. Set the
credentials needed to connect to the Remote Packet Capture Protocol
service.
