Description

The packet capture interface does not allow filtering by protocol 'gre' directly:

Invalid protocol: gre

However that is a valid protocol:

[24.03-RELEASE][admin@m470.stevew.lan]/root: grep GRE /etc/protocols
gre    47    GRE        # Generic Routing Encapsulation

You can filter by protocol 47 if required but entering gre should work.

Tested on latest 24.08-DEVELOPMENT (built on Mon Jul 15 6:00:00 UTC 2024)

Drop-down 'Protocol' menu now has only a few options: Ping, IPsec and CARP but protocol name feature is working. So if I type 'Protocol: gre' or 'Protocol: icmp', etc I can run Packet Capture for these protocols.

I would still keep all protocol options in drop-down 'Protocol' menu which we had previously.

It appears the only difference to the dropdown list is the removal of ICMPv4 & ICMPv6 which was replaced with Ping, which filters to IPv4 or IPv6 echo request and reply.

Both seem acceptable to me.
