32.3.1 Packet Capture on AP
Use this screen to capture network traffic going through the connected AP’s interfaces. Studying these
packet captures may help you identify network problems.
Click Maintenance > Diagnostics > Packet Capture > Capture on AP to open the packet capture
screen.
Note: New capture files overwrite existing files of the same name. Change the File Suffix field’s
setting to avoid this.
Capture Click this button to have the NXC capture packets according to the settings configured
in this screen.
You can configure the NXC while a packet capture is in progress although you cannot
modify the packet capture settings.
The NXC’s throughput or performance may be affected while a packet capture is in
progress.
After the NXC finishes the capture it saves a separate capture file for each selected
interface. The total number of packet capture files that you can save depends on the
file sizes and the available flash storage space. Once the flash storage space is full,
adding more packet captures will fail.
Stop Click this button to stop a currently running packet capture and generate a separate
capture file for each selected interface.
Reset Click this button to return the screen to its last-saved settings.
