• file-Captured packets are sent to the file system. Default Configuration By default, remote capture is configured. Command Modes Global Configuration mode User Guidelines Only one file, remote, or line may be specified. Setting the mode takes effect immediately. Use the monitor capture start command to start the capture. Memory Capture: Captured packets can be displayed on the console using the show monitor capture packets command. Captured packets can be displayed when actively capturing or when stopped. When a capture session is active, it is possible to display only the captured packets which were not previously displayed as the show command empties the capture buffer. When a capture session is stopped, it is possible to display all saved packets as often as required. The command show monitor capture packets always displays the captured packets in chronological order. The memory buffer only stores the first 128 bytes of each packet captured. The switch displays the following information from the captured packet when it is displayed on CLI: • Packet is transmitted or received. • ID of interface through which the packet was passed. • The time when packet passed through CPU. • The first 128 bytes of packet. • The length of full packet (if greater than 128 bytes). The in-memory capture buffer can be configured to stop when full. This mode is configured with the command no monitor capture line wrap. Capturing packets is started by the monitor capture start command. Capturing packets is stopped automatically when 128 packets are captured Layer 2 Switching Commands 720
