Fluke Networks OptiView™ Integrated Network Analyzer
Packet Capture and Filter
For those more difficult to solve problems, the OptiView analyzer
integrates a full packet capture and decode function. The OptiView
analyzer is capable of full line-rate packet capture–even at gigabit
speeds.
Just select the Packet Capture tab and without any modifications,
start capturing packets on your network. However, for more selective
packet captures, use the context sensitive filter–just select the host
device from the device discovery screen, or a conversation from the
statistics screen, press the filter button and the packet capture engine
is automatically populated with source and/or source and destination
addresses of your selection. If you need even more selectivity, you can
select a host or conversation using a particular protocol just as easily.
Just as you would expect from a traditional protocol analyzer, the
OptiView analyzer’s packet capture screen allows you to set up the
capture buffer size, the slice size, the buffer configuration and various
other parameters.
Once you have the configuration you need, press Start Capture
and let the analyzer filter and capture while you make another
selection from the variety of tests to take a different view of your
network. The analyzer continues to capture packets while you look at
something else.
