Packet Capture Status
Packet Capture Status allows you to view the status of packet capture on the AP.
Table 47 describes information the packet capture status fields display.
Field
Current Capture Status
Packet Capture Time
Packet Capture File Size
Packet Capture Parameter Configuration
Packet Capture Configuration allows you to configure parameters that affect how packet capture functions on
the radio interfaces.
Table 48 describes the fields to configure the packet capture.
Field
Capture Beacons
Promiscuous Capture
Client Filter Enable
Client Filter MAC Address
Note: Changes to packet capture configuration 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.

Table 47: Packet Capture Status
Description
Shows whether packet capture is running or stopped.
Shows elapsed capture time.
Shows the current capture file size.
Table 48: Packet Capture Configuration
Description
Enable to capture the 802.11 beacons detected or transmitted by the radio.
Enable to place the radio in promiscuous mode when the capture is active.
In promiscuous mode the radio receives all traffic on the channel, including
traffic 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.
Enable to use the WLAN client filter to capture only frames that are
transmitted to, or received from a WLAN client with a specified MAC address.
Specify a MAC address for WLAN client filtering.
Note: The MAC filter is active only when capture is performed on an 802.11
interface.
