RMON UTILITIES

You can filter raw data for any frame type. Or you can filter detailed information from the header fields if you indicate frame type. When filtering Ethernet II, Ethernet 802.2 or Ethernet SNAP, you can specify the network protocol (IP, IPX, Unknown), as well as the transport protocol (IP: All, TCP, UDP, Unknown; or IPX: All, RIP, SAP, Unknown). Also regardless of the frame type, you can choose to filter all packets or just certain error packets (such as fragments or jabber). Detailed configuration options for filters are shown in the following table.
