NOTE

MAC Addresses must be entered into this window in Canonical (Ethernet) format.

Offset

Indicates the hexadecimal offset of a data field filter designed to screen packets based on a portion of the data field.

Operator

The Boolean operator in effect for this filter. OR indicates the filter is a stand-alone filter for packets received by this port; AND indicates this filter is to be used in combination with the succeeding filter (of the same Entry/Exit type) to screen packets at this port.

You use the following command buttons in conjunction with the Port Filters window:

Add

Use this button to create a new entry or edit an existing entry in the Filter Table (using the filter definition fields in the lower portion of the window).

Delete

Use this button to delete a highlighted entry in the Filter Table. This will cause the filter identifiers to be regenerated.

Refresh

While you are creating or modifying a filter, use this button to clear all filter definition fields back to their default states.

Apply

The Apply button will request current information from the Filter Table. Use this button if you have created new entries in, or deleted old entries from, the Port Filters table and need to update the filter display.
