Configure Wireshark on 3850 to capture bi-directional Wireless Client Traffic

I'm trying to configure Wireshark to capture bi-directional client traffic of a single wireless client only. The IP address is 10.10.10.14 on VLAN 1.  Since I can't apply filters to the CAPWAP interface, I chose VLAN 1, with the following base commands.

  • monitor capture MCAP interface VLAN1 both
  • monitor capture MCAP file location usbflash:mcap.pcap buffer-size 1
  • monitor capture MCAP limit duration 120

If I configure "monitor capture MCAP match ipv4 any any"  I get too much information.   If I use "monitor capture MCAP match ipv4 host 10.10.10.14 any" I get packets transmitted by 10.10.10.14, but not the responses.

Is there a way to accomplish this, or do I need to use Wireshark to filter unwanted packets?   If this were a busy AP, this could result in a very large capture file.   Thanks for the help.
