Using the Address Book
Overview

The address book lets you assign familiar, recognizable names for your
network nodes. These symbolic names are used in place of six-byte
hardware addresses and IP addresses in:
Filter definitions
The capture decode display
The Expert display
Host Table displays (both monitor and capture)
Matrix displays (both monitor and capture)
To create an address book to maintain a symbolic name table for your
own network, you can:

Add names discovered by the Expert analyzer
About Address Entries
The Address Book allows you to define your network nodes in
more-readable symbolic names. Sniffer Portable Professional uses the
address book in filter definitions, the capture decode display, the Expert
display, and the Host Tables to replace the 6 byte hardware address or
network address of the network node with its respective symbolic name.
An address book entry contains:
Name

Hardware Address
