How to exclude traffic based on port?

Votes:

0

We have netflow running on the outside interface of our router which is taking a full BGP Internet feed. I need to exclude the BGP traffic on the sensor so that it won't continue to skew our reports. I have tried in the exclude box typing:

SourcePort[179] OR DestinationPort[179]

When I save that, the sensor trips an alarm "Could not bind socket. Address and port are already in use."

What am I missing?

Hello,

when you get that message, please try if restarting the PRTG Probe Service does help.

best regards.
