Allocating Memory for the Packet Capture File
You must allocate memory to store the Packet Capture file in order to capture
packets. By default, the Packet Capture file uses 0 bytes of memory.
Allocate memory to the Packet Capture file as follows:
1.
Enter the following command to display the maximum number of
contiguous bytes available:
get wfKernelEntry.6.
<slot no.> <value>
6
represents the wfKernelMemoryMaxSegFree attribute.
2.
Enter the following command to specify the size of the Packet Capture
file stored in memory:
set wfPktCaptureEntry.8.
<line_no.> <value>
;commit
•
8
represents the wfPktCaptureBufSize attribute.
•
<line_no.>
is the number displayed after you issued the
get
command in
“Creating an Instance of Packet Capture
” on page B-7.
To list the current line numbers associated with Packet Capture, enter the
command
list instances wfPktCaptureEntry
.
•
<value>
is the number of KB of available contiguous memory, minus
200 KB. The value 1 represents 1024 bytes (1 KB) of memory allocated
for the Packet Capture file; the value 2 represents 2 KB.
To calculate the value, subtract 200 KB from the lowest number displayed
in response to the
get
command that you entered in step 1; then, divide
this number by 1024. The result is the maximum value that Nortel
Networks recommends that you enter.
The less memory you allocate to Packet Capture, the lower the chance that the
processor will reset because of a memory problem. However, you do need to
allocate enough memory to store the packets you want to capture.
Note:
The allocation of memory varies. If the processors have memory
restrictions, enter this command every 15 seconds for 2 to 3 minutes and
record each response.
