Trace Capture
To access the Trace Capture diagnostic functions:
1. Navigate to
Diagnostics > Diagnostics.
The Trace Capture utility creates a TCP dump of network traffic that can be used by Vbrick
Support Services when troubleshooting VC Gateway issues. It captures packets based on the
criteria you select and can subsequently be viewed in Wireshark or a similar application. As
explained below, you run the utility, retrieve the capture file, and send to it Vbrick.
To create a trace capture:
1. Select an interface from the dropdown.

(bond0 and lo).
• lo – captures a trace of the local host interface (127.0.0.1) only.
