This describes how to capture frames larger than or equal to 1,000 bytes.
About this task
This test is done using port 0 of the SmartNIC which is connected to the traffic generator.
Procedure
-
Create a file with the following NTPL commands. It sets up a filter to capture all
frames larger than or equal to 1,000 bytes.
Delete = All Assign[StreamId=0] = Length >= 1000
Apply the NTPL commands./opt/napatech3/bin/ntpl -f <file_name>
An output example:NTPL CMD: Delete = All NTPL ID: 0 NTPL CMD: Assign[StreamId=0] = Length >= 1024 NTPL ID: 5
-
Start the monitoring tool.
/opt/napatech3/bin/monitoring
Press r to reset the statistics. -
Start throughput.
/opt/napatech3/bin/throughput -s 0
- Start transmitting frames on the traffic generator.
-
Stop throughput and check the output.
An output example:
Throughput: 0 packets @ 0 pps, 0 packets dropped, Wire: 0.000 Mb ...Throughput: 3262 packets @ 3262 pps, 0 packets dropped, Wire: 33.112 Throughput: 3262 packets @ 0 pps, 0 packets dropped, Wire: 0.000 ...Done: Received: 3262 packets Wire: 4138957 bytes Pci: 4191149 bytes Dropped: 0 packets 0 bytes Max throughput: 3262 pps Wire: 33.111 Mbps Pci: 33.529 Mbps Min throughput: 0 pps Wire: 0.000 Mbps Pci: 0.000 Mbps Avg throughput: 543 pps Wire: 5.518 Mbps Pci: 5.588 Mbps Total throughput: Received: 3262 packets Wire: 4138957 bytes Pci: 4191149 bytes Dropped: 0 packets 0 bytes
-
Check the statistics in the monitoring tool.
