Time for action – viewing management, control, and data frames

Now we will learn how to apply filters in Wireshark to look at Management, Control and Data Frames.

Please follow the below instructions step by step:

  1. To view all the Management frames in the packets being captured, enter the filter wlan.fc.type == 0 into the filter window and click Apply. You can stop the packet capture if you want to prevent the packets from scrolling down too fast.
    Time for action – viewing management, control, and data frames
  2. To view Control Frames, modify the filter expression to read wlan.fc.type == 1.
    Time for action – viewing management, control, and data frames
  3. To view data frames, modify the filter expression to wlan.fc.type == 2.
    Time for action – viewing management, control, and data frames
  4. To additionally select a sub-type, use the wlan.fc.subtype filter. For example, to view all the Beacon frames among all Management frames, use the following filter:
    (wlan.fc.type == 0) && (wlan.fc.subtype == 8).
    Time for action – viewing management, control, and data frames
  5. Alternately, you can right-click on any of the header fields in the middle window and then select Apply as Filter | Selected to add it as a filter.
