Table 47 - Packet Capture Status
Packet Capture Parameter Conguration
Packet Capture Conguration allows you to congure parameters that affect how packet capture functions on the radio
interfaces.
Figure 54 - Packet Capture Conguration
The following table describes the elds to congure the packet capture.
Field Description
Capture Beacons Enable to capture the 802.11 beacons detected or transmitted by the radio.
Promiscuous
Capture
Enable to place the radio in promiscuous mode when the capture is active.
In promiscuous mode the radio receives all trafc on the channel, including trafc that is not
destined to this AP. While the radio is operating in promiscuous mode, it continues serving
associated clients. Packets not destined to the AP are not forwarded.
As soon as the capture is completed, the radio reverts to non-promiscuous mode operation.
Client Filter Enable Enable to use the WLAN client lter to capture only frames that are transmitted to, or
received from a WLAN client with a specied MAC address.
Client Filter MAC
Address
Specify a MAC address for WLAN client ltering.
Note: The MAC lter is active only when capture is performed on an 802.11 interface.
Table 48 - Packet Capture Conguration
Note: Changes to packet capture conguration parameters take affect after packet capture is
restarted. Modifying the parameters while the packet capture is running doesn’t affect the current
packet capture session. In order to begin using new parameter values, an existing packet capture
session must be stopped and re-started.
Packet File Capture
In Packet File Capture mode the AP stores captured packets in the RAM le system.
