The Advanced Filter, as the name implies, allows user to filter on the content with complex rules. The following 

figure shows the Advanced Filter being used with more complex rules. These filters can be saved for one-click use 

the next time they are needed. 

 

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. 

In order to do an ad hoc packet capture, you can navigate to Operate > Packet Capture (under Operational Tools) 

> Capture Sessions. If you are coming to this page for the first time, you may not have any capture profiles set up. 

In order to create a new profile, click Create and fill in all the criteria for capturing a particular traffic. If you have a 

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

test them out before automating them, as will be shown in the next section. 

 

Once the profile is defined, you can test it out by clicking Start, as shown in the preceding figure. See if the packets 

are captured correctly. You can then use these profiles for automatically capturing packets.
