Transferring Collected Data
SLV user history statistics and LMI packet capture data can be uploaded to an
NMS or a Network Associates Sniffer using FTP, which is faster than other
methods. For Models 9820, 9820-2M, and 9820-8M, the rate at which the data
file is transferred is the rate set by the FTP Max Receive Rate (Kbps) option (see
Table 4-13, Telnet and FTP Session Options in Chapter 4,
Configuration
Options
). For Model 9820-45M, the rate is fixed.
NOTE:
Use your NMS application to FTP and view transferred statistics and packet
data; the data files are not in user-readable format. LMI packet capture data
can also be viewed via the LMI Trace Log (see
Viewing Captured Packets
from the Menu-Driven User Interface
in Chapter 8,
Troubleshooting
, for
additional information).
