Protocol Analyzer
Using Packet Capture Instances
5967–9446 349
To create a new packet capture instance
1 Select InstanceAttach… from the base window.
2 In the Create New Instance text field, specify a name
for the new instance and click OK.
3 Configure the new instance with the Settings menu, if
necessary.
4 Specify a filter with the Filter menu as needed.
5 Click the START button or choose InstanceStart to
begin capturing packets for this instance.
When you click the START button to start capturing packets, the current
configuration (settings and filter) is applied to the instance, and packet
capture begins.
Once an instance is started, you cannot change its configuration without
first stopping it.
You can also create and start an instance by giving the protanal
-start command, as discussed on page 405.
A Protocol Analyzer instance is represented on the agent by a set of valid
control entries in the Filter and Capture RMON groups with the same
owner string. If the agent does not support or allow configuration of new
control entries, you will not be able to create a new instance.
Note: When the Protocol Analyzer is launched on various ports of a
multi-port probe, it appears to be using the same port interface for each
port when it should not be. This looks like an error, but it is not. The base
window shows information on the previously-specified instance, not on
the capture you are about to do. To see the interface specified for the cap-
ture you are about to do, choose SettingsInterface. You will see that the
interface you want to use for your capture is the one selected.
