Chapter 13 Creating Sniffer Monitoring Profiles 270 Sniffer Portable Professional To operate Sniffer Portable Professional with different network adapters and settings, you create separate entities, called profiles. A profile can be thought of as a set of settings — each profile holds session information, such as the address book, capture filter settings, and packet display options. Each profile has independent configuration information, so it can be used to globally reconfigure Sniffer Portable Professional when moving from one network to another, one segment to another, or for setting up the options for specific tasks. When you create a new profile, it automatically uses the settings currently defined in the Sniffer Portable Professional application (the address book, capture filter settings, packet display options, and so on). NOTE: If you use Sniffer Portable Professional as a field service tool to troubleshoot different networks, use the profile feature to maintain configuration information for each client’s network. To create a new profile: 1 Select Adapter Settings from the File menu. 2 Click New. 3 In the New Settings dialog box (Figure 13-2), enter a description for the profile in the field provided. This will also be the name of the profile and will appear in future instances of the Settings dialog box. 4 Select the adapter for this profile. All adapters are listed. 5 Use the Copy settings from field to use the configuration settings from an existing profile. The drop-down list includes all previously defined profiles on the Sniffer Portable Professional PC. The settings you are copying include the address book, filter settings, trigger settings, alarm threshold settings, and so on. If you do not use the Copy settings from field, the new profile will be created using the settings currently active on Sniffer Portable Professional. You can then change these settings to suit your needs. NOTE: Various options in Sniffer Portable Professional's menus will change depending on the type of adapter you have selected for capture. 6 Click OK.
Tips: Network Adapters and Settings Once you have created multiple profiles, you can launch new Sniffer Portable Professional sessions without creating the new agents again. It may be useful to think of a profile as a “set of settings.” You can define multiple sets of settings (profiles) for a single adapter. This makes it easy to switch between different monitoring or analysis needs by simply switching profiles. The same network card is used, but the configuration settings within the analyzer will be different. Figure 13-2. Creating a profile User’s Guide 271
