- The "Ethernet Address Map" dialog allows the user to associate
-
- a name with an Ethernet address. These names are used in three
-
- ways: to save the user from having to type Ethernet addresses
-
- when configuring packet data filters, for convenient display of
-
- of Ethernet packet data, and for specification of addresses for
-
- which to be searched.
-
-
-
- * When filters are being configured, if the user would
-
- like to filter based on an Ethernet address (for example,
-
- in the Ethernet header), the user need only type the name
-
- of the Ethernet address preceded by an '=' sign. The
-
- '=' sign indicates that the user is using a name instead
-
- of a hexadecimal address.
-
-
-
- * When Ethernet packet data is being displayed, an Ethernet
-
- address will be displayed as its name preceded by an '=' sign.
-
-
-
- * When the user would like to search the Ethernet data for
-
- a specific Ethernet address (using the "Find Node…" menu
-
- item under the "Search" menu), the user need only type the
-
- name of the Ethernet address preceded by an '=' sign. The
-
- '=' sign indicates that the user is using a name instead
-
- of a hexadecimal address.
-
-
-
- Note: the user may turn off the automatic mapping of Ethernet names
-
- using the "Display…" menu item under the "Options" menu.
