Client filter enable
Enable to use the WLAN client filter to trace only frames that are transmitted to, or received
from, a WLAN client with a specified MAC address.
Client filter MAC address
Specify a MAC address for WLAN client filtering. Note that the MAC filter is active only when
a trace is performed on an 802.11 interface.
Note
Changes to packet trace settings take effect after a packet trace is restarted. Modifying the
parameters while a packet trace is running does not affect the current packet trace session. To
begin using new parameter values, an existing packet trace session must be stopped and
restarted.
Packet file trace
In packet file trace mode, the M210 stores captured packets in a file on the device.
Upon activation, the packet trace proceeds until one of the following occurs:
•
The trace time reaches configured duration.
•
The trace file reaches its maximum size.
•
The administrator stops the trace.
During the trace, you can monitor the trace status, elapsed trace time, and the current trace file
size. You can select
Refresh to update this information while the trace is in progress.
