Operations Guide Release 8 31 SETTING UP A PROTOCOL ANALYZER ON YOUR CYCLONE NETWORK Selection of protocol analyzer software and location for a protocol analyzer depend on both the network topology and the type of traffic to capture. However, the examples in this section are based on free-of-charge Ethereal software, which is available at http://ethereal.com/.
Operations Guide Release 8 31.2 ANALYZING TRAFFIC AT AN AP OR BH WITH NO CMM The IP address of the protocol analyzer laptop computer must match the IP addressing scheme of the AP/BH. If the router is configured to be a DHCP server, then configure the laptop computer to automatically obtain an address. If DHCP is not enabled, then ensure that the laptop computer is configured with a static IP address in the same subnet as the AP/BH.
