set capture session <dpd-number-session-id-arg> interface <variable-interface-name> direction <capture-direction-arg>
Configure a packet capture using the specified interface. You can
run this command multiple times to configure multiple interfaces
on the same packet capture session.
To run the packet capture using this configuration, use the
set capture session <session-number>
[file <filename>] [count <packet-count>]
[expression <expression>] command.
If you need to capture packets from only one interface, you
can configure and run the packet capture with a single command:
start capture interface <interface-name>
[file <filename>] [count <packet-count>]
[expression <expression>].
Use the get capture sessions command
to see all configured capture sessions.
