2. To include all devices in the filter, skip to step 5. To filter packets

addressed to or from a specific device, click New. The Select Device to

Add dialog opens, which lists all of the devices that are defined in the

current names file. Select a device to add to the filter, and click Add. For

more information on names files, see

After you select a device to filter, you return to the Device Filter dialog

and the newly added device is listed in the Device list.

3. If you added a device to the filter in the previous step, all packets

refine the filter by specifying which packets pass the device filter: all

packets or network variable packets addressed to the device, or all

packets or network variable packets sent by the device.

To refine the filter, edit the filter configuration for the device by selecting
