Packet Capture Configuration and Settings

Wireless packet capture operates in two modes:
•) Capture file mode.
•) Remote capture mode.
For capture file mode, captured packets are stored in a file on the Access Point. The AP can transfer the file to a TFTP
server. The file 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 Configuration and Settings page, you can:
•) View the current packet capture status.
•) Configure packet capture parameters.
•) Configure packet file capture.
•) Configure a remote capture port.
•) Download a packet capture file.
