snooper tool - manual please!

RouterOS Wireless Networking
1

Has anybody any idea on what the ‘snooper’ tool in winbox is actually telling us?

And what the different pictograms mean?

If I snoop against my own network I see that snooper gives the same picto to either a cpe or an AP.
But other units get another sign.

Than I see some trapped level units. Does this mean cpe connected to AP? Makes no sense because some have even 3 levels…

There is this column “Networks”. But its either “0” or nothing mentioned on my own MT-ROS routerboard driven network???
Same for the column “Stations”. Only one of my AP’s is showing the correct no. of stations… but the rest is showing nothing or “0”?

I think it can be a great tool, if it at least was documented…

I have the same question.

I’m trying to use snooper via CLI and save the results to a file or syslog
/interface wireless snooper snoop wlan1 interval=00:00:01.000 append file=wifitest1

In Winbox you can select display: all/stations/frequencies/networks
Can you select this on the CLI ?

You can define: Interval – 00:00:00.020..00:00:05 (time interval)
I assume that this is something like the duration parameter with the wireless scan

scan works but gives me not the needed information. Snooper via winbox does but now how do i get these results to a file or syslog or ..

I didn’t manage to get it working.

A kind of manual or some suggestions how to realise this would be of great help.

thanks in advance
