Wireless Access

I'm looking for a way to check for probe requests / replies to a specific AP or from a specific client-mac. I know how to do this over-the-air, but i will not be at the location where we need to do this. I'm aware of the "show ap remote debug mgmt-frames ap-name <ap-name>" command that shows auth, assoc, deauth, reassoc, etc., but can't seem to find a command that just shows probes.

What i suspect may be happening is that the device is configured with an SSID that is misspelled, which we've had before, but i want to avoid driving 90 minutes to confirm this if I can do it remotely.

Thanks for the help!

Do a packet capture on a channel from an AP.

Thanks! Do you have any guide or instructions on completing this? I've done so on clients, but not for APs. I did see the option i believe in the WebUI, but have never successfully completed one.

Thanks!
