Changing the Size and Number of Capture Files
By default, the capture session stops when it fills a single file with 16,000 kilobytes of
data. You can use the
filesize
and/or
filecount
options to change the size and number of
capture files:
capture session session-id ip ip-address [vlan vlan-id ] file prefix
[filesize kilobytes ] [filecount count ]
where
session-id , ip-address , vlan-id , and prefix are all described above.
filesize kilobytes (optional, 1-16,000) limits the size of the file; once the file
reaches this limit, the capture stops. (One kilobyte is 1,000 bytes, not 1,024.)
The default is 16,000 kilobytes.
filecount count (optional, 1-10) sets up a series of capture files; when the
capture reaches the
filesize
limit, it can close the current capture file and start
a new one. The default is 1 file.
The capture session ends when the last file reaches its maximum size.
For example, the following command sequence starts another capture session that is
limited to a single 500-Kbyte file:
bstnA6k(cfg)# end
bstnA6k# capture session 4 ip 192.168.25.19 vlan 25 file shadow_usage filesize 500
bstnA6k# ...
Stopping the Capture
From priv-exec mode, use
no capture session
to stop the capture immediately or
remove a capture session that has stopped:
no capture session session-id
where session-id (1-4) identifies the capture session to close.
Capture sessions persist even after the capture stops due to a filesize limitation. Use
this command to delete any such capture session.
For example, this stops the session that we started in an earlier example:
