Accessing Packet Capture in the UI
This section describes how to access the packet capture tool in the SonicOS UI. There are two
ways to access the Packet Capture screen.
Step 1 Log in to the SonicOS UI as admin.
Step 2 To go directly to the Packet Capture screen, in the left pane, under System, click Packet
Capture.
Step 3 Alternatively, to access packet capture from the Diagnostics screen, in the left pane, under
System, click Diagnostics.
Step 4 In the right pane, in the Diagnostic Tool list, click Packet Capture.
Starting and stopping packet capture
The Packet Capture screen has buttons for starting and stopping a packet capture. You can
start a packet capture that uses default settings without configuring specific criteria for packet
capture, display, FTP export, and other settings. If you start a default packet capture, the
SonicWALL appliance will capture all packets except those for internal communication, and will
stop when the buffer is full or when you click Stop.
