Use the Packet Capture Tool

You can capture wireless packets to analyze traffic patterns with a network traffic analyzer
tool. The captured packet flow can show if traffic is flowing correctly to its destinations or if
packets are dropped. There is a limit to the size of the packet flow that you can capture in a
file.

To capture packets:
1. Select Monitoring > Packet Capture. The Packet Capture screen displays:
Figure 62.
2. Click Start to start capturing wireless packets leaving or entering the wireless access point
on the active operating channel. Packets on the 2.4-GHz interface are captured. Normal
functioning of the wireless access point is not affected during the packet capture process.
If any previously captured packets exist, you are prompted to delete them, and only then
can you capture new packets.
3. Click Stop to stop capturing packets.
