Exam 200-301 topic 1 question 1214 discussion

In sniffer mode, an Access Point (AP) captures wireless traffic on a wireless network and forwards that traffic to a PC running a packet analyzer (e.g., Wireshark). This mode is specifically designed for network monitoring and troubleshooting, as it allows you to capture raw packets from the air to analyze them for issues such as network performance or security problems.

It‘s D The controller enables you to configure an access point as a network “sniffer”, which captures and forwards all the packets on a particular channel to a remote machine that runs packet analyzer software. https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/wireless/controller/9800/17-2/config-guide/b_wl_17_2_cg/sniffer_mode.pdf

The AP mode used for capturing wireless traffic and forwarding that traffic to a PC running a packet analyzer is D. sniffer. In sniffer mode, the AP captures Layer 2 wireless frames and sends them to the packet analyzer program, such as Wireshark, where they can be saved and examined

Always remember answer is D by thinking of: Sniffing DDDeezzzz Nuts..

Monitor Mode The monitor AP mode doesn’t transmit at all. It doesn’t broadcast an SSID. However, it acts as a dedicated sensor to monitor and detect the WiFi channel for IDS events, rogue access points, and it also determines the position of wireless stations via location-based services. Sniffer Mode Access points in sniffer AP mode act as a dedicated 802.11 wireless traffic receiver. The traffic is then forwarded to a machine running a network analyzer software such as Wireshark or OmniPeek for storage and further analysis. Sniffer AP mode won’t broadcast an SSID, and clients can’t connect to it, but it is helpful in troubleshooting on remote sites.

It´s D sniffer

The AP mode used for capturing wireless traffic and forwarding that traffic to a PC running a packet analyzer is: B. Monitor

Monitor: The AP does not transmit at all, but its receiver is enabled to act as a dedicated sensor. The AP checks for IDS events, detects rogue access points, and determines the position of stations through location-based services. Sniffer: An AP dedicates its radios to receiving 802.11 traffic from other sources, much like a sniffer or packet capture device. The captured traffic is then forwarded to a PC run ning network analyzer software such as Wildpackets OmniPeek or WireShark, where it can be analyzed further. D is True

The correct answer is B. monitor. In AP (Access Point) mode, a monitor is used to capture wireless traffic and forward it to a PC that is running a packet analyzer. This allows for the analysis and monitoring of wireless network traffic. A bridge can connect two or more local networks together, but it does not specifically capture and forward traffic for analysis. A rogue detector is a feature or tool used to identify unauthorized or rogue access points in a wireless network. It does not capture and forward traffic for analysis. A sniffer is another term for a packet analyzer or network analyzer, which is the tool that is run on a PC to capture and analyze network traffic. It does not specifically refer to the AP mode for capturing and forwarding traffic.

D is correct

The controller enables you to configure an access point as a network “sniffer”, which captures and forwards all the packets on a particular channel to a remote machine that runs packet analyzer software. These packets contain information on time stamps, signal strength, packet sizes, and so on.
