Pre-Defined Filter Templates

Filter Templates

All filter templates supplied with Surveyor are described below. Templates are

defined by an offset(s) and a value(s). These templates can be used in a capture or

display filter to capture or display common protocol packets.
An OR in the Offset column indicates that the associated value will cause the frame

to be captured/displayed if the value is found in either offset. An OR in the Value

column indicates that any of the ORed values found in the associated offset will

cause the frame to be captured/displayed. HEX indicates hexadecimal format and

DEC indicates decimal format in the Value column.
Filter values are interpreted on byte boundaries. Therefore, port numbers expressed

in decimal are shown in the table in “dot” notation. For example, port 1719

(H.323_GD) is shown as “6.183” in decimal; the “6” displays in offset 34 and “183”

displays in offset 35. For more information on converting decimal numbers to byte

values, see “Entering Values that Cross Byte Boundaries” on page 10 in Chapter 4.
For devices other than THGm, the

No. of Filters Used

column indicates the number

of hardware filters used by the template. Each device has maximum number of

filters and this value can be useful in making sure you do not exceed this value.
