Creating and Using Filters : Creating a new capture window based on a filter

You can create a new capture window that uses the filter that you are defining in the Insert / Edit Filter dialog as the only enabled filter. This allows you to quickly capture packets based solely on the new filter that you are creating.

To create a new capture window based on a filter:

1. Do one of the following to display the list of filters:

• On the View menu, click Filters

• Click the Filters view in an open capture window

• Click the Filters options from the Capture Engine Capture Options dialog

2. Click Insert. The Insert / Edit Filter dialog appears.

3. Create a simple or advanced filter. See Creating a simple filter or Creating an advanced filter.

4. Click New Capture. The Capture Options dialog appears.

NOTE: In the Filters options of the Capture Options dialog, the filter you created in the Insert / Edit Filter dialog, is the only filter selected.

5. Complete the Capture Options dialog as you normally would.

6. Click OK.
