Using the Remote Filter

With the remote filter, users can set ProPort to exclude certain remote ports from monitoring. This is helpful to prevent failures in Web-browsing, or email checking..etc.

Remote filters can be entered as follows:
• FilterName:1234 (single)
• FilterName:1230-1232 (range)
• FilterName:1234;1237;1240 (series)

This first one will exclude any traffic that occurs on the remote port: 1234. The second on excludes any traffic that occurs on remote ports 1230, 1231 and 1232. The third will exclude traffic on 1234, 1237 and 1240.

IMPORTANT: Entering a remote filter like: FilterName:1230-1232;1234;1237 will NOT work. You can only enter either a range of ports (1-10), or a series of them, but not both.
