This document describes the ideal settings for a packet capture. For information about packet capture limitations and how to capture or download a packet, refer to Working with Packet Capture.

Ideal Settings

The Complete the following steps to implement ideal packet capture settings are listed below.:

1. Configure packet capture durations for the minimum amount of time necessary to capture packets as the problem under investigation is reproduced.
   
   
2. When capturing Media and/or SIP Signaling packets to file, select the appropriate filters to minimize the volume of packets. Specifically, use filters as follows for Media and/or SIP Signaling files:
   
   
   • TCP/UDP Port filters
     List up to four filters. Separate the filters with a comma. 
     
     

   • Host IP address

     List up to two IP addresses. If possible, use the host IP addresses against termination points that are terminating a single call. 

      

     Info
     For each IP address entered (Host 1 and Host 2), an additional field displays for setting the direction for the capture.
