3.5 Trace information—for advanced users

Trace outputs may be used to monitor the internal processes in the router dur-

ing or after configuration. One such trace can be used to display the individual

steps involved in negotiating the PPP. Experienced users may interpret these

outputs to trace any errors occurring in the establishment of a connection. A

particular advantage of this is: The errors being tracked may stem from the

configuration of your own router or that of the remote site.

The trace outputs are slightly delayed behind the actual event, but are

always in the correct sequence. This will not usually hamper interpre-

tation of the displays but should be taken into consideration if making

precise analyses.

Trace output can be started in a Telnet session, for example. The command to

call up a trace follows this syntax:

trace [code] [parameters]

The trace command, the code, the parameters and the combination com-

mands are all separated from each other by spaces. And what is the meaning

of these codes and parameters?
