packets that have been already displayed during capturing session are
overwritten in RAM by new captured packets if capturing is still in progress.
In this manner, the limit of displaying 128 packets per session can be
overcome (but only in monitor capture line wrap mode). Packets that have
not been displayed are not overwritten.
Capturing packets is stopped automatically when 128 packets are captured
and have not yet been displayed during capturing session. It is guaranteed
that no packets will be lost (not be displayed or not be saved) when capturing
is in progress. In this case, the last 128 packets are saved into the RAM and
can be displayed many number of times by executing the show monitor
capture packets command.
If capturing is in progress and more than 128 packets are captured and user
configures no monitor capture line wrap mode - capturing is stopped
automatically. It is guaranteed that no packets will be lost when capturing is
in progress.
All captured packets can be displayed. No captured and not yet displayed
packet can be lost. Captured packets can be displayed when capturing is in
progress or after the moment when capturing is stopped. Only packets saved
in RAM (up to 128) can be displayed when capturing is stopped.
If capturing is in progress, the show monitor capture packets command
displays only captured packets which have not yet been displayed during
capturing session. If capturing is stopped: the first (after stopping) show
monitor capture packets command displays packets which have not yet been
displayed during capturing session; Next the show monitor capture packets
command displays up to 128 captured packets.
If the capturing session is stopped automatically when the packets displaying
is in progress, then packets displaying continues up to the moment when the
rest saved packets are shown. In this case, there are no packets that have not
been displayed during the capturing session. The next call of the 'show
capture packets' command displays nothing. Note that such behavior is
observed only if the capturing session is stopped automatically when the
packet displaying is in progress.
