Filters

The Filters section defines filters that will appear in the predefined filter section. This is mostly a convenience for your users because they can very quickly select a predefined filter and they don't have to think about how to define it.

The format is:

[filter name],[location in tree],[compound filter],Include|Exclude,[bpf string]

where:

[filter name] is the name that will appear in the filters window.

[location in tree] is where you want it to appear in the tree that is used to organize filters in the predefined window.

[compound filter] is the name of the compound filter that this filter is a part of (note that compound filter is rarely used in predefined filters).

Include|Exclude defines whether the filter should include data that matches the filter or exclude it.

[bpf string] is the filter string in BPF format.

For information on creating filter strings using BPF, see the online Help for the protocol analyzer product.
