Discovery—Bonjour
Bonjour enables the AP and its services to be discovered by using multicast DNS
(mDNS). Bonjour advertises services to the network and answers queries for the
service types that it supports, simplifying network configuration in small business
environments.
The AP advertises these service types:
• Cisco-specific device description (csco-sb)—This service enables clients
to discover Cisco WAP devices and other products deployed in business
networks.
• Management user interfaces—This service identifies the management
interfaces available on the WAP device (HTTP, HTTPS and SNMP).
When a Bonjour-enabled WAP device is attached to a network, any Bonjour client
can discover and get access to the configuration utility without prior configuration.
A system administrator can use an installed Internet Explorer plug-in to discover
the WAP device. The web-based configuration utility shows up as a tab in the
browser.
Bonjour works in both IPv4 and IPv6 networks.
Bonjour is enabled by default.
To change the administrative status:
STEP 1 Select Administration > Discovery - Bonjour in the navigation pane.
STEP 2 Click Enable to enable Bonjour or clear Enable to disable Bonjour.
STEP 3 Click Save. The changes are saved to the Startup Configuration.
Packet Capture
The wireless packet capture feature enables capturing and storing packets
received and transmitted by the WAP device. The captured packets can then be
analyzed by a network protocol analyzer, for troubleshooting or performance
optimization. There are two methods of packet capture:
