2. Create a name for your filter so you can identify it easily afterward:

3. On Filter State, you can set your filter to be active or inactive, defining whether you want to apply the filter to incoming data

4. On IP Addresses Rules, you’ll define based on which rules you’ll exclude the traffic. There are two options available:

   1. IP address equals - an exact match to an IP address. Example: 192.168.1.20
   2. IP address is in range - using a CIDR notation. Example: 192.0.2.0/24

   They work on a concatenated logic - this means that, for example, if you have three different rules defined, if any of these rules can be applied to the incoming IP address, it will be excluded;

5. After finishing your setup, click on the "Save" button to see the filter you created on the Traffic Filters page. These filters are not applied to the data shown in the Preview Mode, so you can still see your own data flowing into the system;
6. After creating the filter, you can also easily activate or deactivate it on the “Traffic Filters” page;

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.jentis.com/jentis-dcp-elements/account-settings/traffic-filters/how-to-configure-a-traffic-filter.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
