Cisco Cisco Agent Desktop 8.5 Guia Da Instalação

Perform the following steps to prepare the packet generator host.

1. Load the packet analyzer software onto your packet generator host.

2. Obtain the sample capture file VLANSamplePackets.cap and load it into the 

packet analyzer software. The capture file was generated in a format that is 
used by most dedicated and software packet analyzers.

3. Select the DECODE view from the tab at the bottom of the window.

The test involves sending a sample VLAN packet to a test target NIC card and 
verifying that the packet is not discarded by the pre-processing step, but rather is 
passed on to the TCP/IP stack on the computer hosting the NIC card.

The test case to determine whether or not the test target NIC is qualified to work with 
CAD silent monitoring is as follows. 

Verify that the test target NIC is able to pre-process VLAN packets 
and is able to forward them to the TCP/IP stack on the test target 
host.
