Configure AP Packet Capture

To enable packet capture on an AP:

  1. Go to Monitor > Devices > Access Points.
  2. Select an access point (not the check box).
  3. Select Troubleshooting > AP Packet Capture.
  4. Configure the packet capture parameters.
  5. Click Start to start the packet capture.
  6. Click Stop to stop the packet capture.
    Packet capture stops when capture duration is reached or capture file size reaches 1GB.
  7. Click Active Packet Captures to display a dashboard that shows the Packet Capture Instances widget. The widget lists recent packet capture instances. Active instances display in green and inactive instances display in red. Inactive instances are eventually removed from the widget.
    The file name is automatically generated. The name is based on the AP or site where the capture was initiated plus an internal capture ID.
  8. Hover over the capture file and select Download to download the file.
