Configuring Packet Capture

Packet capture is a tool that helps you to analyze network traffic and troubleshoot network problems. On a J-series Services Router, the packet capture tool captures real-time data packets traveling over the network, for monitoring and logging.

Packets are captured as binary data, without modification. You can read the packet information offline with a packet analyzer such as Ethereal or tcpdump.

J-series Services Routers can capture IPv4 packets only. The packet capture tool does not support IPv6 packet capture.

You can use either the J-Web configuration editor or CLI configuration editor to configure packet capture. For more information about packet capture, see the JUNOS Policy Framework Configuration Guide.
