Configuring Tracing

You can configure tracing for debugging MSS. You use specific keywords to specify which area of MSS to trace. You determine how trace output is handled when you configure logging. For more information, see “Configuring Logging” on page 215.

Configuring Tracing Properties

In addition to specifying the area of MSS to trace, you can optionally specify the level of tracing to output, as well as a username, MAC address, port, or port group to trace.

To configure tracing properties:

1In the Organizer pane, expand the WX switch for which you want to configure tracing.

2Expand Management Services.

3Expand Log.

4Select Trace.

5Select Config > Insert > Trace Area. The Create Trace Area dialog box appears.

6In the Area box, type the name of the trace type you want to activate.

For a list of valid trace types, access the CLI and enter the following command: trace ?.

7Optionally, in the Level box, specify the amount of information included in the trace output (0 to 10). 0 provides the minimum amount of information and 10 proves the maximum amount of information. The default is 5.
