Using Embedded Packet Trace

Embedded Packet Trace
The P-2024 packet trace feature records and analyzes packets running on the LAN and WAN interfaces. It is
designed for technical users who are interested in the details of the packet flow on the P-2024＇s LAN or WAN
interface. It is also a diagnostic tool if you have compatibility problems with your ISP or if you want to know
the details of a packet for configuring a filter rule.
The format of the packet trace result display is as follows:
Packet:
0 11880.160 ENET0-R[0062] TCP 192.168.1.2:1108->192.31.7.130:80
[index] [timer/second][channel-receive/transmit][length] [protocol] [sourceIP/port] [destIP/port]
There are two ways to view the trace result:
1. Online Trace--display the trace real time on screen
