Not sure how to do it in NAM,
It may well vary by product line (given the vendor in question, how could it not?), but my current understanding is that NAM requires the configuration of data sources, which generally are a subset of available mechanisms on the platforms hosting the ports to be captured from, such as SPAN or NDE. I went with the example I knew best.
but the principe is to only capture "incoming" (RX) packets  instead of "both" incoming and outgoing. You need to do this, since every packet enters *and* leaves the VLAN, thus is captured twice if you capture both. This should be configured at the source side of the SPAN definition...

Cheers,


Sake

Hello everyone,

I am seeing duplicate packets when importing packet captures from Cisco NAM module into Wireshark. Would appreciate any ideas to avoid that. Thanks.
If you're relying upon SPAN to monitor VLANs, you may want to ensure that you're doing so unidirectionally.

Regards,

Akhtar
