Chapter 5 Packet capture 119

Global IP parameters

The configurable parameters for the global IP capture object are the same as the parameters available for physical interface objects. The following example creates a global capture object called rawip, navigates to Capture Configuration mode, and displays the commands for the global capture object. For more information about global IP capture objects, see “Global IP captures” on page 107.

CES#capture add rawip global

CES#capture rawip

CES(capture-global)#?

Packet capture mode

wrapping	Continues capturing when buffer gets full

CES(capture-global)#

Starting, stopping, and saving capture objects

The following example shows how to start a capture object called test_ether1, stop it, save the buffer to a file (called test_ether1.cap), and finally, clear the capture buffer. You must run all commands at Privileged EXEC mode.

CES#capture test_ether1 start

CES#capture test_ether1 stop

CES#capture test_ether1 save test_ether1.cap

Saving capture test_ether1 to file /ide0/test_ether1.cap please wait . . .
