In these recipes, we will discuss how to configure layer 2-3 filters, that is, Ethernet-based and IP-based filters. We will also discuss Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) filters.
Configuring Ethernet, ARP, host, and network filters
Getting ready
In layer 2, we will configure Ethernet-based filters, while in layer 3 we will configure IP filters. For Ethernet, we have filters based on the Ethernet frame and MAC address, while for IP we have filters based on the IP packet and addresses.
Common frame delta filters include the following:
- frame.time_delta: For the time delta between the current and previous captured frame (will be used in statistical graphs, in Chapter 6, Using Advanced Statistics Tools)
- frame.time_delta_displayed...
