Table 2-1. Postcapture Display Tabs
Tab Description
Quick Start – Five Steps
Expert Displays the results of proprietary Expert analysis, showing network objects,
symptoms, and diagnoses by network layer:
•The Expert Overview (a) pane shows the network analysis layers (similar in
concept to the ISO layers) and the Expert overview statistics (objects,
symptoms, or diagnoses) for each layer.
•The Expert Summary (b) pane shows key summary information for the layer
and statistics selected in the Expert Overview panel.
•The Protocol Statistics (c) pane displays the amount of traffic (in frames
and bytes) for each protocol encountered for the layer you selected in the
Expert Overview panel.
•The Detail Tree (d) pane shows a hierarchical listing of all layers below those
selected in the Expert Overview and Expert Summary panels.
•The Expert Details (e) pane is a collection of information tables for the data
selected in the Summary pane.
See Expert Analysis on page 219.
Decode Provides classic, line-by-line protocol decodes in a tri-pane window. Sophisticated
automatic filtering features let you select a packet in the Summary pane and
automatically filter on different components of the packet (source/destination
addresses, ports, and so on).
See Introducing the Packet Decode Tab on page 165.
Matrix Provides statistics on conversations taking place on the network.
See Using the Matrix Tab on page 209
Host Table Provides statistics broken out for each host detected on the network. Different tabs
let you focus on IP hosts, MAC hosts, and so on.
See Using the Host Table Tab on page 212.
Protocol
Distribution
Provides statistics broken out by protocol family. You can focus on MAC, IP, or IPX
layer protocols.
See Using the Protocol Distribution Tab on page 214.
Statistics Provides a variety of global statistics, including capture start/stop times, average
speeds, and packet counts for a variety of basic categories.
See Using the Statistics Tab on page 216.
Filtered
Tabs
By default, display filters return the filtered frames in a new tab at the bottom of
the postcapture display window. If you prefer, you can enable the Select
matching option. When this option is enabled, frames matching the filter appear
“marked” in the leftmost column of the active Decode tab – their checkboxes are
checked.
See Working with Display Filters on page 172 for more information on how to use
display filters in the Decode tab.
