Configuring Filters
While using the
diag-eth command, various filters can be defined to display specific
or general diagnostic information.
Tip: There is help associated with the filter command. To view this help, enter
filter after you enter diag-eth. The filter help screen appears.
Important: If you are connecting to AI296 using Telnet, remember to filter out the
traffic associated with the telnet connection. Failure to do so can cause
the diagnostic program to become overloaded, which makes AI296

for information on
filter formats.
