Administrator Guide

You can use the capture-duration timer and the packet-count counter at the same time. The TCP dump stops when the first of the
thresholds are met. That means that even if the duration timer is 9000 seconds, if the maximum file count parameter is met first, the
dumps stop.
• Enable a TCP dump for CPU bound traffic.
CONFIGURATION mode
tcpdump {cp | rp} [capture-duration time | filter expression | max-file-count value | packet-
count value | snap-length value | write-to path]
