Enhanced Packet Capture with Support for Range Filters

Use range filters for IP addresses, ports, and protocols while taking custom packet captures.
You can now use range filters when you take custom packet captures (PCAPs). You can use range filters to address the challenges of troubleshooting batch traffic issues in environments where the exact source IP addresses, ports, and protocols are not known. While setting capture filters, you can set a range of values separated by dash delimiters for IP addresses, ports, and protocols. You can set source and destination IPs with subnet masks or specific IP ranges. Similarly, you can set source and destination port ranges and protocol ranges. You can also mix single-value filters with range filters. The Next-Generation Firewall captures the packets that fall within the defined ranges, including the boundary values, when reaching the data plane.
