Hi,

 

I am not sure if anyone asked this question before.

 

I am using dumpcap to capture network traffic with thousands of clients from local sub-network. I would like to use IP filter to capture the traffic from/to selectively IP addresses. I know if I have a few IP addresses to capture, I can use

 

dumpcap -i en0 -f 'host x.a.b.c and host x.d.e.f and host x.g.h.i'  -w traffic.pcap

 

 

However, if I have thousands of IP addresses that I want to capture their traffic, how many IP address filters that dumpcap can support?

 

Thanks,

Jianhong
