trace-log
Trace log allows you to trace specific information through basmonitor. Tracing allows you to
monitor and view specific information; you can use this information for performance monitoring,
troubleshooting, and debugging purposes.
The trace-log command defines the information that basmonitor displays. You can use this
command to configure viewing within the following information areas:
■ Slot Specific — You can configure trace log information from with slot(<c/s>) mode to view
and monitor information on a slot-wide basis. For example, you can configure the tracing of
DHCP information that is relayed over the slot, or widen the scope to IP specific data. Within
slot mode, the steps to configure trace-log include:
1. Specifying the information (in terms of software component) that you want to monitor.
2. Configuring the log level for that information.
■ Cable Modem Specific — You can configure trace log information from within
interface:cable:csi(<c/s/i>) mode to view and monitor information as it pertains to
registration of a single cable modem. This allows you to view and monitor the information
flow that occurs during a registration of a specific cable modem; use this information to
debug registration failures on a per cable modem basis. Within cable interface mode, the
steps to configure trace-log include:
1. Specify the cable modem that you want to monitor.
2. Configure whether you want to monitor the cable modem ranging messages.
3. Configure whether you want to monitor cable registration messages.
4. Configure whether you want to monitor cable modem baseline privacy messages.
5. Configure the log-level at which you want to monitor the specified information.
The information that you can configure to view in basmonitor using the trace-log command
depends on the mode in which you launch it. The log-level controls how much of the specified
information is displayed and controls the scope of the information.
