Chapter 6
Capturing Incoming Traffic
622Vu Advisor lets you capture and monitor the traffic coming in over one or
both channels of an analysis device. You can save the captured cells, either to
review them later or to use them as a script (or as the basis for a script).
This chapter describes the capture facility, including the use of filters during
capture processing.
Starting the Capture Facility
Click the toolbar’s Capture button to initiate capture processing (or choose
Capture from the Activities menu). Then click the appropriate button to either
start a new capture, or to review the traffic from a previous capture:
•
Click the New button to start a new capture.
•
Click the Open button to open a file that contains ATM cells captured
previously.
The rest of this chapter contains information as follows:
•
Section 6.1 Starting a New Capture details the options available when you
start a new capture, and describes the initial display.
•
Section 6.2 Opening a Capture File (page 89) describes how to open an
existing capture file.
•
Section 6.3 Viewing Captured Traffic (page 90) tells how to view and
process captured traffic. This discussion covers active (i.e., live) captures as
well as captures that have been stopped and/or saved previously.
