Packet Capture Conguration and Settings
Wireless packet capture operates in two modes:
•) Capture le mode.
•) Remote capture mode.
For capture le mode, captured packets are stored in a le on the Access Point. The AP can transfer the le to a TFTP
server. The le is formatted in pcap format and can be examined using tools such as Wireshark and OmniPeek.
For remote capture mode, the captured packets are redirected in real time to an external PC running the Wireshark
®
tool.
The AP can capture the following types of packets:
•) 802.11 packets received and transmitted on radio interfaces. Packets captured on radio interfaces include the
802.11 header.
•) 802.3 packets received and transmitted on the Ethernet interface.
•) 802.3 packets received and transmitted on the internal logical interfaces such as VAPs and WDS interfaces.
From the Packet Capture Conguration and Settings page, you can:
•) View the current packet capture status.
•) Congure packet capture parameters.
•) Congure packet le capture.
•) Congure a remote capture port.
•) Download a packet capture le.
