There are five CLI commands for capturing packets to disk file. These commands
are:

filepath

—sets the PCAP file path

buffersize

—sets the size of the RAM buffer

filesize

—sets the size of a disk capture file

maxfiles

—sets the maximum number of disk capture files

capture-all

—sets PCAP capture mode to either loss or no loss

The following sections describe each of these commands.

Setting the PCAP file path

To set the file path to save PCAP files, from CLI Capture Configuration Mode,
enter:

filepath

<path>

where path is the path to save the PCAP files.
