Starting a packet trace

Every now and then it can be usefull to capture a packet trace on the filer to help troubleshoot connectivity issues with the filer.


The following procedure explains how to start a packet trace:


Toaster>pktt start all (or only from a specific interface, pktt start e0a)


Next step is to dump the output to a file before stopping the trace.


Toaster>pktt dump all


When the trace is dumped to a file you can stop the packet trace from collecting data.


Toaster>pktt stop all (or stop only a specific interface, pktt stop e0a)


You can find the file with the packet trace in the filers root (\\toaster\c$), this file can be analyzed using a program like wireshark
