Description: This flag when enabled implies that AP will sniff the 802.11a/bg packets. However, if it is enabled, then user should enter the server-ip-address on which Airopeek is running and the 802.11a/bg-channel-number to be sniffed. The above feature will work only when AP is in 'Sniffer' mode.
What is bsnAPIfPacketsSniffingFeature?
Enables or disables packet sniffing mode on the AP radio, causing it to capture 802.11a/bg wireless frames on a specified channel and forward them to an Airopeek server. The AP must be placed in 'Sniff' mode for this feature to function.
