Note: Entering 0 means the trace is kept running until the Stop
button is selected or a shutdown is performed, whichever
is earlier. An entry of 0 also means the trace will store the
max file size of 1000MB.

configuration options.
5 Click Stop after a time to end the network trace.
Start a Network Trace on Library Startup
1 From the menu bar, click Tools > Capture Network Trace . The
Capture Network Trace screen displays.
2 From the Configuration Options area, select the type of network
trace you want to perform:
• External — configures the trace tool to capture all traffic
between the library and the outside world. As most networks
are now switched, this should not cause any traffic to be
captured from other workstations on the same segment, except
for some broadcast packets.
• Internal — configures the trace tool to capture all traffic
internal on the library backbone. This has to be traffic
originating, or passing through the MCB. Traffic between the
RCU and the PRPs for example will NOT be captured.
• Loopback — a virtual interface on the MCB. This will ONLY
capture traffic which uses this specific interface for daemons
and other processes internally to the MCB.
• All — captures all traffic on all interfaces combined.
3 Enter a value in the Max File Size (MB) field.
Note: When the network trace gets to the max file size, it will
start saving over previously recorded trace information. The
trace will NOT stop when it reaches the max file size. You
must stop it manually.
4 Select the Start on Boot check box. This starts the network trace
automatically the next time the library is restarted.
5 Click Ok .
