632CHAPTER A: TROUBLESHOOTING A WX SWITCH

Tracing Authorization Activity

Tracing authorization activity can help diagnose authorization problems. For example, to trace the authorization of MAC address 00:00:30:b8:72:b0, type the following command:

WX1200# set trace authorization mac-addr 00:00:30:b8:72:b0 success: change accepted.

Tracing 802.1X Sessions

Tracing 802.1X sessions can help diagnose problems with wireless clients. For example, to trace 802.1X activity for user tamara@example.com at level 4, type the following command:

WX1200# set trace dot1x user tamara@example.com level 4 success: change accepted.

Displaying a Trace Use the display trace command to display the trace areas that are enabled. For example, to display all currently running trace commands, type the following command:

WX1200# display trace

Stopping a Trace The clear trace commands deletes running trace commands. To clear all traces or a particular trace area, type the following command:

clear trace {all trace area}

(For a list of all areas that can be traced, see “List of Trace Areas” on page 634.)

For example, to stop a trace of session manager activity, type the following command:

WX1200# clear trace sm success: change accepted.
