Figure 196: Protocol analysis at AP connected to a CMM
Example of a Protocol Analyzer Setup for an SM
The following is an example of a network protocol analyzer setup using Wireshark
®
software to
capture traffic at the SM level. The Wireshark network protocol analyzer has changed its name to
Wireshark™, but functionality and use remains much the same. This example is based on the
following assumptions:
• All required physical cabling has been completed.
• The hub, protocol analyzer laptop computer, and subscriber PC are successfully connected.
• The SM is connected
o as shown in Figure 194 on page 561.
o to the subscriber PC and the AP.
• Wireshark software is operational on the laptop computer.
Although these procedures involve the SM, the only difference in the procedure for analyzing
traffic on an AP or BH is the hub insertion point.
