Using the debug filter command
The Brocade Virtual ADX debug filter is a packet capture utility that captures packets at the
Brocade Virtual ADX itself based on user-defined filters. The captured packets are stored in a
capture buffer and it is possible to view the packets on-screen or to transfer them to a TFTP server
to have a look at them offline. The Brocade Virtual ADX offers the possibility to store packet
captures in PCAP format. This simplifies the work dramatically due to the fact that users are able to
use PCAP based tools to work with the packet captures taken at the Brocade Virtual ADX.
Using the packet capture utility
You have to do the following to use the Brocade Virtual ADX packet capture utility (debug filter):
1. enter utility
2. configure capture buffer
3. specify packet size to capture
4. specify filters
5. apply filters
6. start capturing process
7. stop capturing process
8. view captured packets
