For example, enter the following command:

CES#

capture add test1 ?

atm

ATM interface capture

bri Bri interface capture

dial Dial interface capture

FastEthernet Fast Ethernet interface capture

GigabitEthernet Gigabit Ethernet interface capture

global Global RAW IP capture

serial Serial interface capture

tunnel Tunnel capture

Create a capture object by specifying an object name and type.

In the following example, you create a capture object called test_ethernet1
that captures traffic on Ethernet interface 1/2.

CES#

capture add test_ethernet1 FastEthernet 1/2

CES#

In the following example, you create a capture object called test_tunnel that
captures tunnel traffic.

CES#

capture add test_tunnel tunnel

CES#

Configuring a capture object

After you create a capture object, you can configure it to capture a subset of the
traffic that travels over the physical interface, tunnel, or the VPN Router as a
whole. You can configure a capture object to do the following:

capture inbound or outbound traffic or both

capture a non-default number of octets from each packet

apply an interface filter to the object

configure start and stop triggers for the object

specify whether the capture stops when the buffer is full or whether new data
overwrites the existing data
