IMPORTANT: Be careful to use a hexadecimal offset value rather than
decimal for best results.
Notes on Pattern Match Filters
Keep in mind the following when using Pattern Match filters:
No Pattern Matches in Statistics Filters – Mining filters that include
a Pattern Match component cannot be used as Statistics filters. An
error message will appear if you attempt to select such a filter.
Special Characters Not Allowed – Special characters such as
periods (.) are not allowed when entering ASCII for pattern match
filters. Only ASCII characters from the valid printable range are
allowed (decimal 33-126).
Pattern Match Filters and IPv6 – When using fixed-offset Pattern
Match filters on IPv6 traffic, you must set the From option to Frame
and not IP, TCP, or UDP for successful results.

This section describes how how to apply filters created using the Create/
