Address Filter Tips

Here are some tips on how to configure the address filter for some common tasks.

Include data

• To observe traffic coming from a single computer, add its address to a source include filter and switch the destination filter off.

• To see the packets coming from and going to a single computer, add its address to the source and destination filter lists, set both to Incl and set the linkage to Or.

• To observe the traffic between two computers, add their addresses to the source and destination filter lists (double-click each or select both and click the button), set the filters to Incl, and set the linkage to And.

Exclude data

• To exclude traffic of one or more PCs completely, add all their addresses to the source and destination filter lists (e.g. by double-clicking them in list on the left), set both filters to Excl and the linkage to And.

• To exclude data that is sent from one system to another, add the first address to the source list and the second to the destination list. Set both filters to Excl and set the linkage to Or.

• To exclude traffic between two PCs, add their addresses to the source and destination filter lists, set both filters to Excl, and set the linkage to Or.
