Tip #1: You might not capture the traffic if you don’t use a hub.
Read the article on hub and switches to understand why.
Tip #2: You can select the packets you capture to reduce log file
size by defining a capture filter before you start the capture.
We suggest you to avoid this. If you are short of space you can
select which packets you save.
Tip #3: You can select which packets you view from the total log by
defining a display filter.
Tip #4: You can select which packets to save in the log files.
Tip #5: You can search for particular packets.
