An AP forwards CAPWAP encapsulated
wireless packets to the observer PC. Snap-
length is the size of the wireless packet including
the 802.11 headers.
You may notice malformed packets in
Wireshark when use a lower sized snap-
length.
Note:
In Wireshark, when the packet length
exceeds the configured snap length in the
capture profile, the captured packets show as
Malformed. The default value of the snap
length is 128 and the value can be modified
between 32 and 1024.
