Using the Technician Interface to Display a Packet Capture File
Enter the following Technician Interface command to display a Packet Capture
file stored in memory:
pktdump
<line_no.>
[-s
<start>
] [-c
<count>
]
<line_no.>
is the number displayed after you issued the get command in “Creating
an Instance of Packet Capture.” To list the current line numbers associated with
Packet Capture, enter the
list instances wfPktCaptureEntry command.
[
-s<start>] and [-c<count>] are optional.
<start> is the number of the packet in the file to be displayed first. If you do not
specify one, the Technician Interface displays Packet No. 1 first.
<count> is the number of packets to display in sequential order. If you do not
specify one, the Technician Interface displays all packets.
If the Packet Capture file does not contain packets, the following message
appears:
No packets captured for linenumber
<line_no.>
If the Packet Capture file contains packets, the contents of each packet appear as
follows:
• The first line shows information Packet Capture recorded about the packet. It
includes
— The sequential number of the packet in the file
— The date and time Packet Capture copied the packet
— The media carrying the packet
If the media is Sync, the name of the protocol on the Sync interface
appears instead of the media.
— The number of bytes in the packet
— The direction of the packet: “Rx” for incoming packets and “Tx” for
outgoing packets.
• The remaining lines show the data in the packet in hexadecimal format.
