Capture FiltersCapture FiltersThe capture filter syntax follows
the rules of the pcap librarypcap libraryThis syntax is different from the
display filter syntax. Referring manual page of tcpdump
(http://www.tcpdump.org/tcpdump_man.html )
Sample filters:◦Capture only traffic to or from IP
address 172.18.5.4:◦host 172.18.5.4
Capture FiltersCapture FiltersCapture traffic to or from a range of IP
addresses:◦net 192.168.0.0/24
Capture traffic from a range of IP addresses:◦src net 192.168.0.0/24
Capture traffic to a range of IP addresses:◦dst net 192.168.0.0/24
