In this video, Keith Barker covers enabling Sniffing mode on a wireless access point. You probably already know that it's theoretically possible to collect wireless LAN traffic and run protocol analysis on it, but if you don't know how to, watch along as Keith demonstrates setting up wireless sniffing.

If you have a shred of doubt about what you'd do if your boss approached you tomorrow and asked you to collect some wireless traffic for protocol analysis, watch as Keith walks you through each step of the process for setting up one of your wireless access points to do it for you. If you're working in a Cisco environment, you can either set up a new AP, or convert an existing one, to be in Sniffer mode. While active, you can instruct the AP in which channel it should pay attention to. From there, it'll take all the traffic it receives and send it upline to its WLC via CAPWAP communications. From there, it's a matter of telling the WLC to package up that data and send it to an IP address you specify. Follow along with Keith as he walks you through setting up a Sniffer and forwarding its findings.
