as you are configuring the filters please keep handy a connection to the system where you could run the LODIPFTR command if you have "locked all the doors"

Using LODIPFTR I have the IP address packet rules working just fine and can filter a full ip address like this:

Ex: SRCADDR = 1.1.1.1 or DSTADDR = 1.1.1.1

Is there a way to use some wildcarding to just filter mask on the first part of the IP address. In this example just the first two digits. This way I can filter to a particular network rather than down to the specific IP if the IP address changes:

Desired Filter Ex: SRCADDR = 1.1.0.0 or DSTADDR = 1.1.0.0

I tried this: 1.1.0.0/16 and it doesn't work. Also tried just: 1.1.0.0 and that doesn't work either. Only thing that seems to work is a specific IP address.

The docs are very basic.

Thoughts appreciated.
