5.3.1 Packet Capture Files Screen

Click Maintenance > Diagnostics > Packet Capture > Files to open the packet capture files screen. This
screen lists the files of packet captures stored on the NSG or a connected USB storage device. You can
download the files to your computer where you can study them using a packet analyzer (also known as
a network or protocol analyzer) such as Wireshark.

DESCRIPTION
Click this button to have the NSG capture packets according to the settings configured
in this screen.
You can configure the NSG while a packet capture is in progress although you cannot
modify the packet capture settings.
The NSG's throughput or performance may be affected while a packet capture is in
progress.
After the NSG 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.
