Use Connection Analysis to perform a one-time connection analysis on the selected SSID network. Selecting a network layer in the
Module Selections
tab automatically selects all of the dependent layers below it. The order that the connection analysis runs is based on standard WLAN networking dependency, from the bottom (MAC) to the top (Connectivity). If any of the dependent layers fail, all layers above it also fail.
By default, the analysis runs on the connected WLAN network, unless configured differently in Settings. See Connection Analysis Settings.
Connection Analysis
Connectivity: The Analyzer initiates this test only after the MAC, EAPOL, and DHCP are completed successfully, and it analyzes the ICMP (ping) reachability test using the selected SSID network. To run a full connection analysis on all layers, select the Connectivity layer.
Address Resolution Protocol (ARP): The Analyzer initiates this test only after the MAC, EAPOL, and DHCP are completed successfully, and it analyzes the ARP process using resolved parameters from the DHCP layer.
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP): As part of running the Connection Analysis feature, the DHCP is initiated automatically by Android, and the Analyzer passively analyzes the native Android DHCP process.
Extensible Authentication Protocol over LAN (EAPOL): As part of running the Connection Analysis feature, the EAPOL (if applicable to the network) is initiated automatically by the Wi-Fi Stack connection, and the Analyzer passively analyzes the EAPOL process. If the EAPOL is not required, for example, with an open network, the analysis is skipped.
Media Access Control (MAC): As part of running the Connection Analysis feature, the MAC connection (authentication and association) is initiated automatically by the Wi-Fi Stack connection, and the Analyzer passively analyzes the 802.11 exchange with the AP/BSSID.
