Packet Capture File Download

You can download a capture file by TFTP to a configured TFTP server, or by HTTP/HTTPS to a computer.
A capture is automatically stopped when the capture file download command is triggered.
Because the capture file is located in the RAM file system, it disappears if the WAP device is reset.
To download a packet capture file using TFTP:
Step 1 Click Download to TFTP Server.
Step 2
Specify a Server IPv4 Address in the field provided.
Step 3 Enter the Destination File Name to download if different from the default. By default, the captured packets are stored
in the folder file /tmp/apcapture.pcap on the WAP device.
Step 4
Click Download.

Using HTTP

To download a packet capture file using HTTP:
Step 1 Click Download to this Device. A confirmation pop-up message will appear.
