To start sniffing, open Wireshark and start recording packets.
When you open Wireshark, the Wireshark main window appears. It includes the
Wireshark hardware interfaces connected to the nRF Sniffer.

To start sniffing with the default settings, use one of the following
options:
- Double-click on the nRF Sniffer for 802.15.4 hardware interface.
- Select the nRF Sniffer for 802.15.4 hardware interface and click the
Capture packets button.
By default, both these options start the capturing process on channel
11 without capturing the out-of-band metadata. If you want to
capture this kind of data or listen on a different channel,
run nRF
Sniffer with custom options.
