capture pix's traffic

[harinirina]

Hi,

Is it possible to capture pix's traffic 24/24 hours and tftp it automatically to a host ?

If you want some type of continuous traffic capture you should look at something like a distributed sniffer implementation. The PIX capture is mainly for troubleshooting purposes only.

Please rate any helpful posts

Thanks

Hello harinirina,

There really isn't a way to do this using the Pix alone. However, for limited troubleshooting you can do some packet capturing on the Pix. Again, this is a troubleshooting tool, not a packet collection tool.

If you need all traffic, you'll need an external sniffer.

Hope this helps! If so, please rate.

Thanks
