Capturing Packet Information

This section describes how to capture packet information, which is useful for troubleshooting
connectivity problems with the ACE or for monitoring suspicious activity. The ACE can track packet
information for network traffic that passes through the ACE. The attributes of the packet are defined by
an ACL. The ACE buffers the captured packets, and you can copy the buffered contents to a file in Flash
memory on the ACE or to a remote server. You can also display the captured packet information on your
console or terminal.
