Dell W-Series 205H Instant 6.5.1.0-4.3.1.0 CLI Reference Guide - Page 198

Usage Guidelines These commands direct an AP to send WiFi packet captures to a client packet analyzer utility such as Airmagnet, Wireshark and so on, on a remote client. Before using these commands, you need to start the packet analyzer utility on the client and open a capture window for the port from which you are capturing packets. The packet analyzer cannot be used to control the flow or type of packets sent from APs. The packet analyzer processes all packets. However, you can apply display filters on the capture window to control the number and type of packets being displayed. In the capture window, the time stamp displayed corresponds to the time that the packet is received by the client and is not synchronized with the time on the AP. Filter specification (used in ap packet-capture interactive) supports the following: - type (beacon/rts/cts/data/ack/ctrl/mgmt/all) - sta (mac address) - bss (mac address) - da (mac address) - sa (mac address) - dir (tods, fromds) - retry (1, 0) - frag (1, 0) - wep (1, 0) Filter spec examples: (type eq beacon) or ((sta eq 000000010203) and (dir eq tods)) (type == data) && ((sta = 000000010203) || (sta == 000000010203)) (type != beacon) (wep nq 1) (type eq all) Examples The following command starts a raw packet capture session for the AP ly115 on radio 0, and sends the packets to the client at 10.64.102.4 on port 5000. (host) (config) #ap packet-capture raw-start ap-name ly115 10.64.102.4 5000 0 radio 0 Packet capture has started for pcap-id:1 The following commands start an interactive packet capture session for the AP ap1. #ap packet-capture open-port 5555 #ap packet-capture interactive ap-name ap1 "type eq all" 192.168.0.3 5555 radio 0 The output of the command in the example below displays packet capture session statistics for the AP ap1. In this example, the output has been divided into multiple sections to better fit on the pages of this document. In the actual command-line interface, it will appear in a single, long table. 198| ap packet-capture Dell Networking W-Series ArubaOS 6.5.x | Reference Guide
