Chapter 1 Table 1-2. Features for Wireless Networks Feature See this topic: The Decode display can completely decode 802.11 traffic (if the correct decryption keys are specified and, in the case of WPA, if the initial EAPOL handshake packets are seen). Since wireless LAN services take place at the lower network layers, you can see the wireless-specific decodes by examining the DLC layer in the Detail pane of the Decode display. In addition, the Decode display indicates the channel from which each packet was captured inside brackets in the Status column of the Summary pane (for example, an entry of [1] in the Status column indicates that the packet was captured from channel number 1 on the wireless LAN). The Expert analyzer creates network objects at the DLC layer for wireless stations. There are also several Wireless-specific Expert alarms. In addition, all of the usual upper layer Expert analysis is provided. During monitoring or capture, the title bar of the Sniffer window shows the channel currently being monitored, the signal strength, and the network topology. You can use this display to get a quick feel for the strength of the signal being monitored and determine whether you need to move the analyzer closer to an access point to get a stronger signal. 16 Sniffer Portable Professional Postcapture Decode Display on page 162 Decode and Expert Reference Guide in Decode & Expert installation directory.
