Step 4 Delete the capture point:
Switch# no monitor capture mycap
Example 2: Simple Capture and Store
This example shows how to capture packets to a filter.
Step 1 Define a capture point to match on the relevant traffic and associate it to a file.
Switch# monitor capture mycap interface gi 3/1 in match ipv4 any any
Switch# monitor capture mycap limit duration 60 packets 100
Switch# monitor cap mycap file location bootflash:mycap.pcap
Step 2 Confirm that the capture point has been correctly defined.
Switch# show monitor capture mycap parameter
monitor capture mycap interface GigabitEthernet3/1 in
monitor capture mycap match ipv4 any any
monitor capture mycap file location bootflash:mycap.pcap
monitor capture mycap limit packets 100 duration 60
Switch# show monitor capture mycap
Target Type:
Interface: GigabitEthernet3/1, Direction: in
