Overview

PCAP is a data packet capture tool, capable of capturing ingress and egress (E-modules only) packets on selected I/O ports. Captured packets are then analyzed for troubleshooting purposes. This feature is based on the mirroring capabilities of the I/O ports. Packets can be captured based on port mirroring or exchange flow with packet filters. This feature also allows software filters to be configured which will limit the number of packets captured by PCAP.

All captured packets are stored in the PCAP engine. The primary CPU maintains its protocol handling and will not be affected by any PCAP capture activity. Packets captured by PCAP can be saved and downloaded from the PCAP engine to be analyzed offline.
