as Wireshark.

DESCRIPTION
Click this button to have the NXC capture packets according to the
settings configured in this screen.
You can configure the NXC while a packet capture is in progress
although you cannot modify the packet capture settings.
The NXC's throughput or performance may be affected while a
packet capture is in progress.
After the NXC finishes the capture it saves a separate capture file
for each selected interface. The total number of packet capture
files that you can save depends on the file sizes and the available
flash storage space. Once the flash storage space is full, adding
more packet captures will fail.
Click this button to stop a currently running packet capture and
generate a separate capture file for each selected interface.
Click this button to return the screen to its last-saved settings.
DESCRIPTION
Select files and click Remove to delete them from the NXC. Use the [Shift]
and/or [Ctrl] key to select multiple files. A pop-up window asks you to
confirm that you want to delete.
Click a file to select it and click Download to save it to your computer.
This column displays the number for each packet capture file entry. The
total number of packet capture files that you can save depends on the file
sizes and the available flash storage space.
