Downloading a Packet Capture

You can download a packet capture in PCAP format from the CML server to your local machine. You can only download the most recent packet capture on each link, and the packet captures are only available for download while the link is running.

Procedure


In the Workbench, right-click a running link and click Packet Capture menu item.

Click the Packet Capture tab in the bottom pane of the Workbench.

If the link is not running, the Packet Capture pane will only show the message “Please start the link first to capture packets.” In that case, the lab or the link itself is not running. Ensure that the lab and link are running.

In the Panes pane, click the Download button.

The web browser will download packet capture as a PCAP file.

Open the PCAP file on your local machine in your preferred packet analysis tool.
