00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:08,275




2
00:00:08,275 --> 00:00:10,786
So when you consider selecting an interface

3
00:00:10,786 --> 00:00:12,644
one of the important things to do is to know

4
00:00:12,645 --> 00:00:15,115
what interfaces you actually have configured.

5
00:00:15,126 --> 00:00:18,003
And by doing that you could find that on 

6
00:00:17,996 --> 00:00:20,160
the main launchpad.

7
00:00:20,173 --> 00:00:23,072
On this start page, you're going to see

8
00:00:23,064 --> 00:00:26,446
specifically what interfaces

9
00:00:26,439 --> 00:00:28,869
are loaded on the host machine

10
00:00:28,862 --> 00:00:31,352
and what you can do to customize them

11
00:00:31,352 --> 00:00:33,041
before you use them.

12
00:00:33,041 --> 00:00:34,520
And this is what the key is, right?

13
00:00:34,512 --> 00:00:37,025
So, what are you going to do

14
00:00:37,018 --> 00:00:38,734
to actually modify an interface?

15
00:00:38,734 --> 00:00:41,029
Well, when you're modifying an interface

16
00:00:41,029 --> 00:00:44,299
we're not necessarily going in and adjusting

17
00:00:44,299 --> 00:00:47,854
you know, the duplex or we're not, you know,

18
00:00:47,854 --> 00:00:49,799
changing the speed or anything like that.

19
00:00:49,799 --> 00:00:52,713
What we're doing is we're setting up how

20
00:00:52,722 --> 00:00:56,456
Wireshark inter-operates with the interface.

21
00:00:56,455 --> 00:01:01,124
So, what that allows you to do is to,

22
00:01:01,132 --> 00:01:03,132
you know, add a filter,

23
00:01:03,140 --> 00:01:05,362
you can break up your files,

24
00:01:05,376 --> 00:01:07,528
your segments, inter-segments.

25
00:01:07,549 --> 00:01:10,071
You can tune new capture,

26
00:01:10,071 --> 00:01:11,920
you can time your capture.

27
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:13,920
And you can limit the size of each capture.

28
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:17,724
So when you go into select, 

29
00:01:17,733 --> 00:01:19,208
just remember that you select

30
00:01:19,208 --> 00:01:21,114
the interface that you want to adjust

31
00:01:21,114 --> 00:01:25,961
and then you change your capture options.

32
00:01:25,961 --> 00:01:27,730
Then you can modify the launch pad.

33
00:01:27,739 --> 00:01:29,691
You can hide anything that you

34
00:01:29,682 --> 00:01:30,852
it is that you don't want to see

35
00:01:30,852 --> 00:01:32,424
as far as interfaces go.

36
00:01:32,424 --> 00:01:35,730
There'll be many time at least in my machine,

37
00:01:35,739 --> 00:01:39,887
 I tend to have at least 10 or more interfaces.

38
00:01:39,887 --> 00:01:42,857
When I want to go in and use Wireshark quickly,

39
00:01:42,857 --> 00:01:45,584
the last thing I want to do is to have to go in,

40
00:01:45,582 --> 00:01:47,821
find what interface it is that I want to use.

41
00:01:47,817 --> 00:01:49,606
There's certain things that I don't need 

42
00:01:49,606 --> 00:01:51,629
Wireshark to show me so I'm going to 

43
00:01:51,628 --> 00:01:54,331
go in and I'm going to take those out.

44
00:01:54,331 --> 00:01:56,607
Those, you will not see those, and

45
00:01:56,606 --> 00:01:59,068
by doing so, it's going to allow

46
00:01:59,065 --> 00:02:03,187
for less confusion and quicker monitoring

47
00:02:03,187 --> 00:02:07,375
of the traffic coming through the network.

48
00:02:07,375 --> 00:02:09,534
And to do that is when you go in

49
00:02:09,541 --> 00:02:11,581
to the interfaces themselves.

50
00:02:11,595 --> 00:02:13,260
You can choose to hide them.

51
00:02:13,272 --> 00:02:16,031
So, in the graphic that I have up now,

52
00:02:16,042 --> 00:02:17,898
you can select specifically,

53
00:02:17,901 --> 00:02:20,438
ok, I don't really need to see

54
00:02:20,430 --> 00:02:22,731
my bluetooth network connection.

55
00:02:22,731 --> 00:02:24,827
So everytime I open up the launch pad

56
00:02:24,842 --> 00:02:26,771
I want to hide that. I want to make sure that

57
00:02:26,772 --> 00:02:29,458
that goes away and when I open up

58
00:02:29,479 --> 00:02:31,460
I do not see that. I'm presented with 

59
00:02:31,465 --> 00:02:33,672
specifically, either my LAN

60
00:02:33,687 --> 00:02:35,489
or my wireless LAN connection

61
00:02:35,513 --> 00:02:37,666
and I'm good to go. By doing that,

62
00:02:37,666 --> 00:02:39,437
again it avoids confusion.

63
00:02:39,437 --> 00:02:43,045
It allows me to use the tool more effectively.

64
00:02:43,045 --> 00:02:44,682
It lets me get in and do what it is 

65
00:02:44,682 --> 00:02:46,308
that I need to do quickly.

66
00:02:46,308 --> 00:02:50,107
And then, I can also look at

67
00:02:50,107 --> 00:02:52,023
the actual interfaces themselves

68
00:02:52,023 --> 00:02:54,337
which is going to tell me a lot of information.

69
00:02:54,337 --> 00:02:56,936
It's going to tell the status and the speed

70
00:02:56,933 --> 00:03:00,080
of the interface which can be helpful.

71
00:03:00,100 --> 00:03:03,483
So, for example, if I know that I'm having

72
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:07,168
a performance issue, I would likely or 

73
00:03:07,173 --> 00:03:10,816
would hope to be on a gigabit connection.

74
00:03:10,816 --> 00:03:12,244
So I would be able to check that.

75
00:03:12,253 --> 00:03:13,448
I will be able to see the amount 

76
00:03:13,448 --> 00:03:15,052
of packets coming in and out.

77
00:03:15,052 --> 00:03:18,870
I will be able to see VLAN information,

78
00:03:18,870 --> 00:03:22,071
the packet count, that is

79
00:03:22,071 --> 00:03:24,251
when I run the capture, how many

80
00:03:24,253 --> 00:03:28,026
packets are being counted or captured.

81
00:03:28,026 --> 00:03:32,278
And I'll be able to see errors on the interface.

82
00:03:32,278 --> 00:03:34,835
And I'll be able to look at the MAC

83
00:03:34,842 --> 00:03:37,010
and the IP information.

84
00:03:37,001 --> 00:03:39,001
Why is this important?

85
00:03:39,009 --> 00:03:42,071
This is important because when you go

86
00:03:42,071 --> 00:03:44,000
into Wireshark to run your capture,

87
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:47,143
the most relevant information

88
00:03:47,143 --> 00:03:48,899
is what you want to see.

89
00:03:48,899 --> 00:03:51,584
You want to consolidate what it is that 

90
00:03:51,586 --> 00:03:52,948
you don't want to see or remove it

91
00:03:52,940 --> 00:03:55,273
completety so that you do not 

92
00:03:55,281 --> 00:03:58,420
get confused coming in and by doing so

93
00:03:58,431 --> 00:04:00,244
you customized your launch pad.

94
00:04:00,244 --> 00:04:02,142
You use policies and profiles

95
00:04:02,134 --> 00:04:04,225
to customize everything so you can

96
00:04:04,232 --> 00:04:05,748
come in quickly and you can

97
00:04:05,744 --> 00:04:08,015
troubleshoot your problem.

98
00:04:08,026 --> 00:04:12,987
