Filter Example, Capture Conversation

The Filter Design window in Figure 7-5 shows a template that captures all packets going to and coming from two IP stations. The conversation is specified by entering the two IP addresses, using the <-> indicator to capture packets in both directions. The Apply Conversation to Template check box is selected to apply the conversation to the filter template. The filter template is named Station_7and_8_Conversation.

Note that the filter template must be applied to the filter by pressing the Add button. Filter templates must appear in the Template Combination box before they can be loaded to the hardware device.
