Abstract:
A switch and a Frame Capture Managing Module (FCMM) for managing Ethernet frames. The FCMM receives a request for capturing Ethernet frames at a network interface of the switch. The request comprises an identity of the network interface and information relating to a second filter indicating Ethernet frames for monitoring by the network node. The FCMM sends to the switch, a configuration comprising the identity of the network interface of the switch, an indication about a first multicast channel, and information relating to a first filter. The FCMM sends a response comprising a second multicast channel relating to the first multicast channel. Furthermore, the switch receives a request for receiving Ethernet frame sent to the first multicast channel. The switch filters, by use of the first filter, received Ethernet frames into a collection of Ethernet frames. The switch sends the collection of Ethernet frames on the first multicast channel.
