With network recording, Robot records packet-level traffic at the OSI network
interface layer using the "promiscuous" mode of your network card. Network
recording is media-independent, supporting standards such as Ethernet, Token
Ring, and Fiber Distributed Data Interface (FDDI).
Network recording occurs on the wire rather than on the client (as with API
recording).
How to Choose Network Recording To use the network recording method:
1. Click Tools > Session Record Options.
2. Click the Method tab, and click Network recording.
3. Optionally, click the Method:Network tab, and select the client/server pair that you will record. The default is to record all of the network traffic to and from your computer. (For information, see Selecting a Client/Server Pair below.)
4. Optionally, click the Generator Filtering tab to specify the network protocols to include in the script that Robot generates.
