Easy Protocol Filtering

There are two types of easy protocol filtering. The first method lets you filter on the protocol shown in the Summary pane, and the second lets you filter on any protocol discovered on the network so far.

Filtering on the Summary Layer Protocol

To filter on the protocol in the Summary in the Frame Display window pane:

Select the tab of the desired protocol, or open the Summary combo box.
Select the desired protocol.
To filter on a different layer, just select another tab, or change the layer selection in the combo box.

Filtering on all Frames with Errors

To filter on all frames with errors:

Open the Frame Displaywindow.
Click the starred Quick Filter icon or select Quick Filtering from the Filter menu
Check the box for All Frames With Errors in the Protocols To Filter In pane, and click OK.
The system creates a tab on the Frame Display labeled "Errors" that displays the results of the All Frames With Errors filter.

Note: When you have multiple Frame Display windows open and you are capturing data, you may receive an error message declaring that "Filtering cannot be done while receiving data this fast." If this occurs, you may have to stop filtering until the data is captured.
