In this chapter

This chapter lists the NTPL commands and parameters that were supported in the Green Bay 2 release but that are not supported in the Sand Beach release or that have changed. See DN-0449 for the complete NTPL syntax in Sand Beach.

Assign command

The Color parameter is now set to a 32-bit value instead of an integer between 0 and 63.
Note: However, only the bits supported by the packet descriptor that is selected for a frame will contribute to the color.

Transmission is not supported but the values of the TxIgnore, TxNow, CrcOverride and TxPort parameters will affect the packet descriptors of the captured file.

The Decapsulate parameter is not supported.

Retransmit command

The Retransmit command is not supported.

Deduplication command

The Deduplication command is not supported.

HashMode command

The IPMatch parameter is not supported.

For the TupleSwap parameter the IPMatchFirst and IPMatchLast values are not supported.

If a hash mask is defined using the HashMask command, this must be done before the HashMode command.

HashMask command

The HashMask command must always appear before the corresponding HashMode command.

IPFMode command

The IPFMode command is not supported.

IPMatchList command

The ListType command is not supported.

Protocol tests

The JumboFrame command is not supported.

For the Layer3Protocol parameter the IPX value is not supported.

Data tests

Data tests are not supported.

Length tests

Length tests are not supported.

Error tests

For error tests the FrameSmall, FrameLarge, IpChecksumError, UdpChecksumError, TcpChecksumError, DecodeError and InnerDecodeError values are not supported.

Style Conventions

Bold typeface is used for names of, for instance, user interface elements and software components.

Italic typeface is used for replaceable text.

Monospaced typeface is used for code, commands and file names.
