CRU Ditto Shark User Manual
reached, the Ditto Shark will begin overwriting the oldest file on the disk for each new file that
is created. Set this to ‘
0
’ to fill the disk until it reaches capacity.
•
NetCap Snap Size:
Allows you to capture up to the specified amount of bytes of each packet
of data.
•
NetCap Pkt Log Inter:
Allows you to specify the time interval in minutes of how often the Ditto
Shark writes its accumulated dropped packet information to the Action log. Setting this value to
‘0’ disables packet loss reporting.
•
Live Capture:
This service runs continuously in the background and streams captured data in
realtime over the network to a remote monitor using the third-party Wireshark network protocol
analyzer. See Section 4.1.1 for more information.
•
LiveCap Auto Start:
Set this value to ‘Enabled’ to turn on live capture as soon as the Ditto
Shark is powered on. Set this value to ‘Disabled’ if you want the user to choose when to start
the live capture service in the Browser Interface.
•
NetCap MTU:
If you are using the Ditto Shark on a network that’s configured to a non-standard
maximum transmission unit size (e.g. it uses jumbo frames), then set this field to match that
value. Most Ethernet LANs will use the standard MTU of 1500. The commonly accepted range
for a valid MTU is 68 to 65,535 as defined in RFC 791.
•
NetCap Link Speed:
Allows you to set the Ethernet connection speed throughput. In most
cases, ‘Auto Negotiate’ will work. If you experience problems staying connected, you may need
to change the speed to match what your network’s capabilities are.
Dst (Destination) Network Settings
This section allows you to modify the settings for the network connection on the “Destination Inter-
face” side of the Ditto Shark, which is used to connect to the Browser Interface.
•
Dst Network:
Enable or disable the destination network Ethernet connection.
•
Dst MAC Address:
Displays the destination Ethernet port’s MAC address.
•
Dst Network Mode:
Displays the destination Ethernet port’s networking mode. The available
options are Server, Client (DHCP), or Client (Static IP). “Server” allows you to connect the Ditto
Shark directly to a computer without the use of an intermediary network. The network mode
can be further configured in the Browser Interface (see Section 5.2.2).
•
Dst IP Address:
Displays the IP address assigned to the destination Ethernet port.
•
Dst Subnet Mask:
Displays the subnet mask address assigned to the destination Ethernet
port. It is only visible if “Dst Network Mode” is set to “Client (Static IP)” or “Server”.
