Copying Trace Results

To copy the contents of the trace buffer to a file on a TFTP server, use the

to a Server

following command:

 

copy trace-buffer-name tftp://[destination-ip-addr

 

destination-hostname]/destination-filename

 

To find the name of the trace buffer file, use the dir command.

 

For example, the following command copies the log messages in trace

 

buffer 0000000001 to a TFTP server at IP address 192.168.253.11, in a

 

file called log-file:

 

WX1200# copy 0000000001 tftp://192.168.253.11/log-file

Clearing the Trace

To clear all messages from the trace log buffer, type the following

Log

command:

 

WX1200# clear log trace

List of Trace Areas

To see all MSS areas you can trace, type the following command:
