What's New in Capsa 6.9
Support ISL Protocol Decoding: Cisco Inter-Switch Link (ISL) is a Cisco Systems proprietary protocol that maintains VLAN information as traffic flows between switches and routers, or switches and switches.
Support FCoE Protocol Decoding: Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) is a proposed mapping of Fibre Channel frames over selected full duplex IEEE 802.3 networks. This allows Fibre Channel to leverage 10 Gigabit Ethernet networks while preserving the Fibre Channel protocol.
View IP address and Hostname in One Tab: Capsa will automatically resolve hostname and display it in its interface. In 6.9 users can directly view both the IP address and the hostname at the same time, which provides correlation between the two values
