file-name ( text ; default: "" ) - name of the file where to save packets in PCAP format. If
file-name is not defined, packets are not saved into a file
memory-limit ( integer ; default: 1000 ) - how much memory to use (in kilobytes) for sniffed
packets
multiple-channels ( yes | no ; default: no ) - whether to sniff multiple channels or a single channel
• no - wireless sniffer sniffs only one channel in frequency that is configured in /interface
wireless
• yes - sniff in all channels that are listed in the scan-list in /interface wireless
only-headers ( yes | no ; default: no ) - sniff only wireless packet heders
receive-errors ( yes | no ; default: no ) - whether to receive packets with CRC errors
streaming-enabled ( yes | no ; default: no ) - whether to send packets to server in TZSP format
streaming-max-rate ( integer ; default: 0 ) - how many packets per second the router will accept
• 0 - no packet per second limitation
streaming-server ( IP address ; default: 0.0.0.0 ) - streaming server's IP address
