GigaStor Schedule tab

This tab lets you schedule GigaStor packet captures to occur at preset times and days of the week. Although the dialog looks identical to the standard Packet Capture schedule tab, the two types of schedules can not be in effect at the same time. If you attempt to schedule GigaStor packet captures when standard packet captures are already scheduled (or the reverse), an error message is displayed.

Follow the instructions in “Configuring the GigaStor through the

Control Panel” on page 63 to open the Schedule tab (Figure 43).

Figure 43 Schedule tab

Choose No Scheduling to turn off any automatically scheduled packet captures for the selected probe or probe instance.

Choosing Always causes the selected probe or probe instance to capture packets whenever the probe is running.
