Chapter 3: Hardware Settings
Configuring your GigaStor
Learn how to configure packet capture and buffer sizes, define subnets, and
change the storage directory where packets and other data is stored.
Defining your subnets in GigaStor
You can specify subnet properties for the GigaStor to allow for statistical
aggregation of devices within the Statistics tabs in GigaStor Control Panel.
2. Click the Settings button.
3. Click the Subnet tab .
4. Use the Add, Delete, Modify, Import, and Delete All buttons to configure the
subnet settings for the GigaStor. When you define subnets in the GigaStor
Control Panel, Observer Analyzer adds that subnet information to its index
files. All future data analyzed will have subnet filtering readily available as
well as statistical data. On the IP Stations tab you see your subnets and you
can perform statistical analysis based on subnets.
When you analyze data from captures with index files without any subnets
defined, there will be no subnet available in the IP stations tab even if the
analyzed data includes some index files with the new subnet information.
Tip! You can import subnet ranges using an ipsubnetrange file. See .
Tracking individual analysis ports
When using the capture card in your GigaStor, you can track statistical
information per physical port.
Data captured by the capture card is indexed to show on which port the data
arrived. You can further choose to use physical ports to filter statistics. This
