Xgig Port Selection by Chassis or Blade
Ports are shown within blades, and blades are shown within chassis within the Select Ports/
Domain to Analyze
dialog box. As a shortcut, you can select a chassis and add all its ports to the
selection by clicking on the Viavi Xgig logo above the chassis name. You can also click the blade
area surrounding ports to add all the ports in the blade to the selection.
Segment Selection
When viewing a trace from the hardware buffer, the buffer may be segmented. The initial segment
to view is selected in the
Select Ports/Domain to Analyze
dialog box. However, you can change
the segment you are viewing without returning to this dialog box.
If the domain you have selected contains capture buffers that have been segmented, choose the
segment to view from the
Segment: drop-down box in the TraceView toolbar. The drop-down box
only contains segments that contain valid capture data for viewing. Each segment is completely
independent when viewed in TraceView; each segment has its own bookmarks and triggers.
Note that viewing a segment in TraceView when a capture is in progress for another segment
within the domain is not allowed. You also cannot view multiple segments within the same domain
from the same instance of TraceView.
Saving a Trace
You can save your trace or a portion of the trace to a file for detailed analysis.
Select the Save As button or select Save Trace… from the File menu.
When the
Save As
dialog box opens, navigate to the location that you would like to save the files.
Then enter the file name in the File name: text box.
