Add Port Numbers to Custom Filter Templates
A port is a data pattern specific to the source and destination port numbers,
including the protocol type and the direction of traffic. The
Add Port to Fil-
ter Template
area in the display provides a convenient means of adding
port numbers to a custom filter template.
There are three key steps to apply a filter template to a hardware resource:
1. After creating custom template, you must save it using the
Save Custom
Template
button. This step is not required if you are using a pre-defined
template.
2. You must add the template to the
Template Combination
box. Select the
template and click on the
Add
button; the name of the template will appear in
the
Template Combination
box.
3. You must use the
Load Filter
button so the filter as defined in the
FILTER
CREATION
area is loaded to the hardware device.
Each Display or Capture filter applies only to the currently active resource. Once
you have created and saved a unique filter template, you can access it from other
resources.
