Chapter 18 Diagnostics Table 92 Maintenance > Diagnostics > Packet Capture (continued) LABEL DESCRIPTION File Size Specify a maximum size limit in kilobytes for the total combined size of all the capture files on the NWA3000-N series AP, including any existing capture files and any new capture files you generate. Note: If you have existing capture files you may need to set this size larger or delete existing capture files. Duration File Suffix The valid range is 1 to 10000. The NWA3000-N series AP stops the capture and generates the capture file when either the file reaches this size or the time period specified in the Duration field expires. Set a time limit in seconds for the capture. The NWA3000-N series AP stops the capture and generates the capture file when either this period of time has passed or the file reaches the size specified in the File Size field. 0 means there is no time limit. Specify text to add to the end of the file name (before the dot and filename extension) to help you identify the packet capture files. Modifying the file suffix also avoids making new capture files that overwrite existing files of the same name. The file name format is "interface name-file suffix.cap", for example "lan-packet-capture.cap". Number Of Bytes To Capture (Per Packet) Specify the maximum number of bytes to capture per packet. The NWA3000-N series AP automatically truncates packets that exceed this size. As a result, when you view the packet capture files in a packet analyzer, the actual size of the packets may be larger than the size of captured packets. Capture Click this button to have the NWA3000-N series AP capture packets according to the settings configured in this screen. You can configure the NWA3000-N series AP while a packet capture is in progress although you cannot modify the packet capture settings. The NWA3000-N series AP's throughput or performance may be affected while a packet capture is in progress. Stop Reset After the NWA3000-N series AP 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. 18.3.1 Packet Capture Files Click Maintenance > Diagnostics > Packet Capture > Files to open the packet capture files screen.
