Click to add a filter by using the Add or Edit IPv4 Filter dialog box or the Add or Edit IPv6 Filter dialog box. You can set filters based on where the packet is coming from (the source), where the packet is going (the destination), or which protocol the packet is using. You can set all three of these values for a filter or set any one or a combination of the three, depending on the level of control that you want. |
