Configuration scenarios
The following section describes special configuration scenarios and their behavior.
Important:
When the SSID filter is set, you must not enable the promiscous mode.
Scenario 1 — include-beacon + ssid:
Observation: No packets are captured.
Reason: In the Remote packet capture driver, ssid is converted to bssid. This bssid is
compared with the one from the beacon, which never matches and therefore no packet is
captured.
Scenario 2 — include-probe + ssid:
Observation: The probe request packets are observed but with a different ssid (the ssid filter
did not work)
Reason: When the probe request has a broadcast bssid, the comparison does not happen.
Hence all probe requests are captured with a different ssid.
The following section describes configuration settings and the corresponding output.
• no promisc-mode + include-beacon — you see beacons from all APs.
• promisc-mode + include-beacon — you see beacons from all APs.
• no promisc-mode + include-probe — you see probe requests/responses from all APs.
• promisc-mode + include-probe — you see probe requests/responses from all APs.
• no promisc-mode + include-beacon + include-probe — you see beacons/probes from all
APs.
• promisc-mode + include-beacon + include-probe — you see beacons/probes from all
APs.
• no promisc-mode + include-data — you see data to/from only your AP.
