I just only care about two IP addresses, 10.86.50.153 and 10.86.50.152, but exclude any other traffic.

How to shorten the following Wireshark Capture Filter expression?

port 445 and ((src net 10.86.50.153 and dst net 10.86.50.153) or (src net 10.86.50.152 and dst net 10.86.50.153) or (src net 10.86.50.153 and dst net 10.86.50.152))

If I used the following filter expression,

port 445 and (src net 10.86.50.0/24 and dst net 10.86.50.0/24)

I will also display frames with IPv4 address equal to 10.56.50.27.
