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 Table4-21, 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 LMI

Captured Packets from the User Interface

in Chapter 8,
Troubleshooting
,
for additional information).
— Uploading SLV user history statistics is only available to units with
Advanced SLM Feature Set activated.
