Description
Setting
To enable the access point to capture packets in promiscuous mode, select the
Enable check box. By default, promiscuous mode is disabled.
In promiscuous mode the radio or radios receive all traffic on the channel, including
traffic that is not destined for the access point. While the radio or radios are operating
in promiscuous mode, they continue to serve associated clients. Packets that are not
destined for the access point are not forwarded. When the capture process stops,
the radio or radios revert to nonpromiscuous mode.
Promiscuous Capture
To capture packets for a specific client only, select the Client Filter check box and
enter the client’s MAC address in the Client Filter MAC Address field.
Client Filter
If you select the Client Filter check box, enter the client’s MAC address to capture
the packets only for the specific client on the selected interface.
You must enter the MAC address in hexadecimal format with each octet separated
by a hyphen, for example 00-11-22-33-44-55.
