3761.0. "PROBEwatch Filter on IP Address" by IVOS01::MAUTZ (Networks => Systems) Thu Aug 01 1996 18:23

    I just tried to set up some monitoring by defining a filter with
    IP format and specifying an IP destination address of 192.9.200.0.
    My goal is to capture all the traffic to network 192.9.200.  I
    applied the filter to a new Domain, then applied that domain to
    my packetprobe90.  The probe still capture all IP traffic -
    the probe is on a segment whose traffic is mostly 172.16.0.0 network
    traffic and the probe has a 172.16 address.  It does see the 192.9.200
    traffic, however, it doesn't seem to filter out everything but the
    192.9.200 traffic as I want it to.
    
    Any suggestions??
    
    regards,

    Forgot to say that PROBEwatch is V3.3 and Packetprobe90 is firmware
    rev 2.6, if that matters!
    
3761.2Solution: specify destination addressNETCAD::MORENZJoAnne Morenz NPE Network ManagementMon Aug 12 1996 14:029
Setting up the filter as Richard described would capture traffic
only to the address 192.9.200.0, not to the entire network.
The trick is to specify the destination address as 192.9.200.X.
Here, X is the wildcard character for one byte of the address. 

Hope this does the trick.
