30.2 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.
The configuration for analyzing traffic at an AP or BH that is not connected to a CMM is
shown in Figure 135.

Connect the hub to the J2 Ethernet to Switch of the port that is associated with the
AP/BH. This example is of capturing traffic from AP/BH 111, which is connected to
Port 1. The configuration for analyzing traffic at an AP or BH that is connected to a CMM
is shown in Figure 136.
