How to remote capture AP packet on smartzone with CLI

Parik_MN · ‎11-18-2022

If you are using FTP to download the pcap then you can follow below syntax from SZ CLI.

vSZ# remote ap-cli <AP_MAC>"set capture eth0 local"
vSZ# remote ap-cli <AP_MAC> "set capture eth0 idle"
vSZ# remote ap-cli <AP_MAC> "get capture copy ftp <desthost> <destfile> <username> <password>"

Let me know if this helps.

Hi @liman,

We can execute remote AP cli command and run AP compatible commands.

In below example captures can be streamed to Wireshark from AP.

vSZ# remote ap-cli AA:BB:CC:0A:0B:0C "set capture wlan0 stream"
Packet capture on wlan100
OK

how to capture with local mode and get the saved pcap files

That feature is currently available only on GUI. Other than HTTPS, there are no other means to download the PCAP.
