Tracing Events
The CLI trace command provides a means to trace the operation of various protocols supported by the device.
Trace provides detailed information, including STP packet decodes, IGMP activity and MAC address displays.
NOTE
Tracing has been designed to provide detailed information to expert users. Note that all tracing is
disabled upon device startup.
To trace an event, do the following:
1. Log in to the device as an admin user and access the CLI shell. For more information about accessing the
CLI shell, refer to Section 2.6, “Using the Command Line Interface”.
2. Determine the protocols and associated options available by typing:
trace ?
If an option such as allon or alloff is required, determine which options are available for the desired
protocol by typing:
trace protocol ?
NOTE
If required, expand the trace scope by stringing protocols and their associated options together
using a vertical bar (|).
3. Select the type of trace to run by typing:
