Add or Modify Host and Conversation Filters (broadcom.com)

You can add host or conversation filters to limit the report data to specific hosts or

conversations, but you cannot add both host and conversation filters. You can

apply a single type of filter or you can use one of the following valid filter combinations:

• Protocols/Protocol Groups + ToS/ToS Groups
• Protocols/Protocol Groups + Hosts
• Protocols/Protocol Groups + Conversations
• ToS/ToS Groups + Hosts
• ToS/ToS Groups + Conversations

 

 

Valid filter combinations are shown in the list that follows. The filter or combination of filters you

apply to a report determine which summary types are available, which are also included in the list:

• No filters: Interface, ToS, Protocol, Host, and Conversation summaries
• Protocol filters: Interface, ToS, Protocol, Host, and Conversation summaries
• ToS filters: Interface, ToS, Protocol, Host, and Conversation summaries
• Protocol and ToS filters: Interface, ToS, and Protocol summaries
• Protocol and host filters: Interface, Protocol, Host, and Conversation summaries
