shows a numeric filter configured to control the source addresses that are

displayed on the session list. In this example, a filter is enabled for the Source Address

column. The filter is configured to display only source addresses in the range of 1.1.1.1-

1.1.1.2. To view the session list, go to System > Status. In the Statistics section, beside

Sessions, select Details.

If the column includes text strings (for example, names and log messages) you can filter

by a text string. You can also filter information that is an exact match for the text string

(equals), that contains the text string, or that does not equal or does not contain the text

string. You can also specify whether to match the capitalization (case) of the text string.

The text string can be blank and it can also be very long. The text string can also contain

special characters such as <, &, > and so on. However, filtering ignores characters

following a < unless the < is followed by a space (for example, filtering ignores <string

but not < string). Filtering also ignores matched opening and closing < and >

characters and any characters inside them (for example, filtering ignores <string> but

does not ignore >string>).

address with a name that contains "My_Address"
