Enhanced Packet Capture with Support for Range Filters

Use range filters for IP addresses, ports, and protocols while taking custom packet captures.
PAN-OSĀ® 12.1 introduces support for range filters when configuring custom Packet Captures (PCAPs). This feature addresses troubleshooting challenges with batch traffic where specific source IP addresses, ports, or protocols are unknown.
You can configure capture filters to define ranges using a dash (-) to separate values for:
  • IP addresses: Use subnet masks or specific IP ranges for source and destination IPs.
  • Ports: Define ranges for both source and destination ports.
  • Protocols: Specify a range of protocols.
The system captures any packets that fall within the defined ranges, including the boundary values. You can also combine single-value filters with range filters to refine your packet captures.
