2.2.4. Overview of managing the capture and monitoring interfaces
The capture interfaces on GCap are, by default, four in number.
These interfaces receive the flows from the TAPs on the specified interfaces:
mon0
for the first TAPmon1
for the second TAPmon2
for the third TAPmon3
for the fourth TAP
For more information regarding the capture interfaces, refer to the Capture and monitoring interfaces section.
Note
The number of capture interfaces varies depending on the specifications of each model.
In some special cases, it is possible to use GCaps with eight interfaces instead of four.
In addition, there is also a Monvirt virtual capture interface enabling .pcap
file replay directly on the GCap.
In order for the GCap to capture the flow, one or more interfaces must be activated.
2.2.4.1. CLI commands
Managing the capture interfaces is done using the CLI commands listed in the Manage the network table.
2.2.4.2. Use case procedures
To view or configure the capture interfaces, refer to the Procedure for managing capture interface settings monx
