Capture Receiver and Packet Trace how it works and corner cases

Hi guys,

 

The info I'm posting here isn't much more than data collected from Net-Net 4000 S-C6.2.0 ACLI Configuration Guide and Net-Net 4500 and 3820 S-CX6.3.7 Transcoding Essentials Guide, although since i've been seeing customers and partners asking these details several times, and myself overlooking sometimes some of the particulars of Capture-Receiver I decided to post it here:

 

How it works:

 

You start a packet trace using the ACLI Superuser command packet-trace start, enter with these pieces of information:
• Network interface—The name of the network interface on the Net-Net SBC from which you want to trace packets; this value can be entered either as a name alone or as a name and subport identifier value (name:subportid)
