Monitoring LAN Traffic
Data for a LAN interface can be gathered by capturing current information and placing
it into a buffer. This data can then be displayed.
Configuring the Monitor
To configure the parameters used in a capture, press [B] at the Traffic Monitor Menu
(or [C], [E], [B] from the Main Menu). This will display a screen similar to the fol-
lowing:
Figure 20-8 LAN Capture Status and Control Menu
[C], [E],[B] from Main Menu
Information in this Display:
● Protocols – shows whether or not each LAN protocol is loaded. (See Chapter 5 .)
● Recording – will be Active or Not Active , depending on whether or not a capture
is currently occurring.
● Buffer – will be Allocated if Recording is Active , or Not Allocated if Recording is
Not Active . If Allocated , the percentage of buffer filled and the number of events
will also be shown.
● LAN0 – identifies the LAN interface type, shows whether or not a capture is
occurring on the interface, and identifies the traffic type(s) to be monitored.
Each of the configurable parameters (items A–F) will toggle through the valid
settings when selected. Note, however, that the changes will not be displayed on
the
LAN0 line above until you press [F1] to refresh the display.
