Analyzing captured packets

Analyze the captured packets by stopping the packet sniffing service, uploading the capture file,
and analyzing the capture file.

Stopping the packet sniffing service

Enter capture stop to stop the packet sniffing service. You must stop the service in order to
upload a capture file.
Note:
The capture stop command is not saved in the startup configuration file.
Note:

Viewing packet sniffing information

You can enter show capture to view information about the packet sniffing configuration and
the capture state. For example:
G450-001> show capture
Capture service is enabled and inactive
Capture start time 19/06/2004-13:57:40
Capture stop time 19/06/2004-13:58:23
Current buffer size is 1024 KB
Buffer mode is cyclic
Maximum number of bytes captured from each frame: 1515
Capture list 527 on interface "FastEthernet 10/2"
Number of captured frames in file: 3596 (out of 3596 total captured frames)
Size of capture file: 266 KB (26.6 %)
Note:
The number of captured frames can be larger than the number of the frames in
Note:
the buffer because the capture file may be in cyclic mode.
You can use the show capture-buffer hex command to view a hex dump of the captured
packets. However, for a proper analysis of the captured packets, you should upload the capture
file and analyze it using a sniffer application, as described in the following sections.
