Concept Guide

Before using these commands, you need to start the AiroPeek application on the client and open a capture
window for the air monitor. The AiroPeek application cannot be used to control the flow or type of packets
sent from Dell air monitors.
The AiroPeek application processes all packets, however, you can apply display filters on the capture window to
control the number and type of packets being displayed. In the capture window, the time stamp displayed
corresponds to the time that the packet is received by the client and is not synchronized with the time on the
Dell air monitor.
Example
The following command starts a raw packet capture session for the air monitor at 10.100.100.1 and sends the
packets to the client at 192.168.22.44 on port 604 with pcap format:
(host) (config) #pcap raw-start 10.100.100.1 192.168.22.44 604 0
