Matrix ETERNITY NE System Manual 919
Examples of Filter Setting Syntax:
Jeeves will throw up an alert message 'Invalid filter! Please enter valid filter' if you do not enter a valid filter.
It is not mandatory to set Filters. When the Filter Settings field is left blank, the system will capture all 
packets.
 
• Select the Enable Promiscuous Mode check box, if you want specific data packets to be captured. 
When you enable Promiscuous mode, the ETERNITY will capture all network traffic. However, this will 
work only in a non-switched environment. 
When Promiscuous Mode flag is disabled, the system will capture only traffic that is directly related to it. 
Only traffic to, from or routed through the ETERNITY will be picked up by the PCAP Trace.
'Filter Settings' and 'Promiscuous Mode' (enabled) will not be cleared during power down.
• Press the Start button to begin the capturing of the packets.
• Press Stop button to stop the packet capturing.
OR
• Wait for the system to stop packet capturing. The system stops packet capturing once the maximum 
allotted memory of 1 MB (RAM) is utilized. 
• Under  Status, the Number of Packets and bytes captured as per the filter setting will be displayed as 
Packets Captured and Total Bytes respectively. 
Capturing of packets will not stop if you open any other page of Jeeves. So, you may continue using 
Jeeves for any other purpose while PCAP Trace is being used.
• When the packet capturing is stopped (by you or the system), click the Save Trace File button to 
download the captured files from the system’s FTP server.
