Start Live Capture
An ExtremeWireless access point (AP) can capture
wired and wireless traffic and forward it to a remote Wireshark application. This
feature, called Live Capture, must be enabled on the AP using ExtremeCloud.
-
Make sure that the Wireshark application is
running on a host that has access to the capturing AP's wired Ethernet
interface. Wireshark must be configured to capture packets from a remote
interface. Consult Wireshark documentation to configure the application to
listen on a Remote Interface.
