set
set
property param
Where the possible values for
property
are:
•
display param
– Specify a type of information to be
displayed from among the following possible values of
param
:
—
ethernet
– The Ethernet header is parsed into
fields and the payload is displayed as a raw hex
dump.
—
raw
– No analysis is performed. The entire
packet is displayed as a raw hex dump
—
ip
– The Ethernet header is ignored and the IP
header is parsed into fields. The payload is
displayed as a raw hex dump
—
ipfull
– The Ethernet header is ignored and
the IP header is parsed into fields. In addition, an
attempt is made to parse additional fields in the
payload based on its type.
—
tcp
– The Ethernet header is ignored and part of
the IP header is parsed into fields. In addition, TCP
fields such as sequence number,
acknowledgement number, and window size are
displayed.
•
format hex | ascii
– In terse mode the
ascii
option
causes the packet payload to be dumped in ASCII. This
is especially useful for textual protocols such as HTTP.
•
mode terse | verbose
– Verbose mode changes the
display formatting so that more white-space is used.
Payloads are also automatically dumped in
both
hex
and ASCII format. In some cases it may make the
monitor output more readable at the expense of more
transmitted characters per packet.
•
framenum enabled | disabled
– When this property is
enabled sequence numbers are applied to each packet.
•
timestamp diff | none | rel
– Apply a timestamp to
each packet.
When
diff
(differential) is specified The timestamp on
the current packet corresponds to how much time
elapsed between this packet and the packet before it.
When
rel
(relative) is specified the timestamp on the
current packet corresponds to how much time has
elapsed since the monitor was first started.
•
lines n
– Limits the total number of payload lines displayed
for a packet. If set to zero, the entire packet is
displayed.
n
can be an integer value from 0 to 10.
