      The general configuration page contains various common settings.
      Note that the <B>Logging</B> area is not present on a <I>replayer</I>;
      <A HREF="index-4.8.html">click here</A> for logging setup.

      <UL>
	<LI><B>Name</B><BR>
	  This shows the <I>sniffer</I> or <I>replayer</I> name. Any
	  change made to this field takes effect when the <B>Set</B>
	  button is clicked.
	</LI>
	<LI><B>Interface</B><BR>
	  On a <I>sniffer</I> this field is a combo box, and allows the
	  selection of a network interface. For a <I>replayer</I> it shows
	  the interface used, and cannot be changed.
	</LI>
	<LI><B>Snap Len</B><BR>
	  This field specifies how much data is actually grabbed off the
	  network for each packet. The default is <B>68</B>, which is
	  sufficient to cover all normal packet header information. If you
	  want to look inside the packets then this will need to be much
	  larger.
	</LI>
	<LI><B>Select Plugins</B><BR>
	  Click this button to display a list of available
	  <A HREF="index-5.html">dynamic plugins</A>; select those
	  required, and click OK.
	</LI>
	<LI><B>Remove Plugins</B><BR>
	  Click this button to remove loaded
	  <A HREF="index-5.html">dynamic plugins</A>; select those
	  required, and click OK. 
	</LI>
	<LI><B>Parallel Display</B><BR>
	  Setting this checkbox will display a network load histogram on the
	  <A HREF="index-4.9.html">parallel display</A> page.
	</LI>
	<LI><B>Save Configuration</B><BR>
	  By default, the menu <B>Save</B> function saves the setup of all
	  <I>sniffers</I> (both local and remote). Clearing this checkbox will
	  prevent this particular <I>sniffer</I> setup from being saved.
	</LI>
	<LI><B>Packet Monitor</B><BR>
	  The six checkboxes in this area are used to control which columns
	  are displayed on the <A HREF="index-4.7.html">packet display</A>
	  page. If none are checked then the packet display page is
	  disabled; this is useful when monitoring a heavily loaded network
	  where display update would cause a prohibitively high load on the
	  CPU.
	</LI>
	<LI><B>Graphic Display</B><BR>
	  The <B>Histogram</B> spin control sets the interval, in seconds,
	  at which  the network load and packet count histograms on the
	  <A HREF="index-4.6.html">graphic display</A> shift. The two
	  <B>Bar</B> spin boxes set the time average periods for the load
	  bars on the graphic display page, again in seconds.
	</LI>
      </UL>
    <P>
      <B>Note:</B>When using a remote sniffer, it is not sensible to sniff
      an interface with a filter which can see the network packets which
      pass data from the remote sniffer back to ksnuffle. To do so will
      result in a positive feedback loop, and essentially unlimited
      network load.
