What's happening on the line?

Trace Outputs

Trace outputs may be used to monitor the internal processes in the cable modem during or after configuration.

The trace outputs are slightly delayed behind the actual event, but are always in the correct sequence. This will not usually hamper interpretation of the displays but should be taken into consideration if making precise analyses.

How to start a trace

The command to call up a trace follows this syntax:

trace [code] [parameters]

The trace command, the code, the parameters and the combination commands are all separated from each other by spaces. And what is lurking behind the code and parameters?

This code ...	... in combination with the trace causes the following:
?	Displays a help text
+	Switches on a trace output
-	Switches off a trace output
#	Switches between different trace outputs (toggle)
no code	Displays the current status of the trace

This parameter ...	... brings up the following display for the trace:
Status	Status messages for the connection
Error	Error messages for the connection
IP router	IP routing
IP-RIP	IP Routing Information Protocol
ICMP	Internet Control Message Protocol
ARP	Address Resolution Protocol
Masquerade	Processes in the masquerading module
DHCP	Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol

This combination	... brings up the following display for the trace:
command
All	All trace outputs
Display	Status and error outputs
