direction {eq neq} {transmit receive}

To match on packets to or from a specific MAC address, use the dest-macor src-macoption. To match on both send and receive traffic for a host address, use the host-macoption. To match on a traffic flow (source and destination MAC addresses), use the mac-pairoption. This option matches for either direction of a flow, and either MAC address can be the source or destination address.

If you omit a condition, all packets match that condition. For example, if you omit frame-type, all frame types match the filter.

For most conditions, you can use eq (equal) to match only on traffic that

matches the condition value. Use neq (not equal) to match only on traffic that is not equal to the condition value. The src-mac,dest-mac, and

host-macconditions also support lt (less than) and gt (greater than).

The observer ip-addroption specifies the IP address of the station where the protocol analyzer is located. If you do not specify an observer, the MAP radio still counts the packets that match the filter. (See “Displaying Remote Traffic Monitoring Statistics” on page 643.)

The snap-lengthnum option specifies the maximum number of bytes to capture. If you do not specify a length, the entire packet is copied and sent to the observer. 3Com recommends specifying a snap length of 100 bytes or less.

The following command configures a snoop filter named snoop1 that matches on all traffic, and copies the traffic to the device that has IP address 10.10.30.2:

WX1200# set snoop snoop1 observer 10.10.30.2 snap-length 100

The following command configures a snoop filter named snoop2 that matches on all data traffic between the device with MAC address aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff and the device with MAC address 11:22:33:44:55:66, and copies the traffic to the device that has IP address 10.10.30.3:

WX#1200 set snoop snoop2 frame-type eq data mac-pair aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff 11:22:33:44:55:66 observer 10.10.30.3 snap-length 100
