Spirent TestCenter: What is the difference between the Capture Engine Modes?
Environment/Versions
Spirent TestCenter.
Packet Capture.
Answer
Regular Mode:
Capture the entire Ethernet frame. Default mode.
Signature Mode:
Capture only the signature tags in 16-byte frames.
IEEE 802.11 Sniffer Mode (Dedicated Radio):
Captures all traffic received from the wireless network.
IEEE 802.11 Regular Mode (Shared Radio):
Capture frames which have IEEE 802.11 header.
Capture IEEE 802.11 Regular Mode is similar to IEEE 802.11 Sniffer Mode, with these exceptions:
A dedicated port is not required for capture.
It does not capture Acknowledge frames (IEEE 802.11 Sniffer mode does.).
IEEE 802.11 OFDMA Mode - analyze background OFDMA sessions or capture HE MU for a specified AID.
TIPS:
When you select
IEEE 802.11 Sniffer Mode
or
IEEE 802.11 Regular Mode
, the
IEEE 802.11
capture tab appears next to the
General
tab. Use the controls on that tab to set
Channel Width
and select a
Channel
.
When you select
IEEE 802.11 OFDMA Mode
, the
IEEE 802.11
capture tab appears next to the
General
tab. Use the controls on that tab to set the
Sniffer Mode
and specify the
AID
and
BSSID.
The
IEEE 802.11 General
port configuration tab is disabled when you select an
IEEE 802.11
capture mode. Complete your port configuration before you enable IEEE 802.11 capture.
Select either
IEEE 802.11 Sniffer Mode
or
IEEE 802.11 Regular Mode
to enable IEEE 802.11 Frame Filter Mode, and expose the
Frame Filter
configuration tab.
N/A
appears after an IEEE 802.11 mode name when you are not connected to an IEEE 802.11 port.
