Capturing and uploading TCP dumps Viewing reports and logs
Capture Name Specify the name of the capture file. Use a unique filename to prevent overwriting an existing
capture file. The default filename uses this format:
hostname_interface_timestamp.cap
hostname is the hostname of the AltaVault, interface is the name of the interface selected for the
trace (for example, lan0_0, wan0_0), and timestamp is in the YYYY-MM-DD-HH-MM-SS
format.
If this capture file relates to an open NetApp Support case, specify the capture filename
case_number where number is your NetApp Support case number. For example, case_12345.
The .cap file extension is not included with the filename when it appears in the capture queue.
Endpoints Specify IP addresses and port numbers to capture packets between them:
IPs - Specify IP addresses of endpoints on one side. Separate multiple IP addresses using commas.
You can enter IPv6 addresses separated by commas. The default setting is all IP addresses.
Ports - Specify ports on one side. Separate multiple ports using commas. The default setting is all
ports.
—and—
IPs - Specify IP addresses of endpoints on the other side. Separate multiple IP addresses using
commas. You can enter IPv6 addresses separated by commas. The default setting is all IP
addresses.
Ports - Specify ports on the other side. Separate multiple ports using commas. The default setting
is all ports.
To capture traffic flowing in only one direction or to enter a custom command, use the CLI
tcpdump command. For details, see the NetApp AltaVault Cloud Integrated Storage Command-
Line Reference Guide.
Capture Interfaces Captures packet traces on the selected interfaces. You can select all interfaces or a base, in-path, or
RSP interface. The default setting is none. You must specify a capture interface.
If you select several interfaces at a time, the data is automatically placed into separate capture files.
When path selection is enabled, NetApp recommends that you coll
ect packet traces on all LAN
and WAN interfaces.
