Cisco Prime Infrastructure provides a very flexible solution for capturing packets throughout your network. You can 

either manually trigger a packet capture or automatically specify the capture based on some advanced parameters, 

so that it will be triggered once a threshold level is breached. In both of these solutions, packets can be captured 

locally on the NAM or they can be stitched from multiple NAMs and stored in Cisco Prime Infrastructure. Packet 

captures can also be triggered on the ASR 1Ks. 

In order to do an ad hoc packet capture, you can navigate to

 

Sessions. In order to create a new profile, click

 

Create and fill in all the criteria for capturing a particular traffic. If 

you need to capture a particular type of traffic all the time, it may be a good idea to proactively create those profiles 

and test them before automating them, as described in the next section.
