• portShow fciptunnel -all -perf (FR4-18i only)

• portShow fciptunnel -all -credits (FR4-18i only)

• portShow fciptunnel all -c (7800 and FX8-24 only)

• portShow fciptunnel all --circuit --perf --summary (7800 and FX8-24 only)

FTRACE concepts

FTRACE is a support tool used primarily by your switch support provider. FTRACE can be used in a

manner similar to that of a channel protocol analyzer. FTRACE may be used to troubleshoot

problems using a Telnet session rather than sending an analyzer or technical support personnel to

the site.

CAUTION

FTRACE is meant to be used solely as a support tool and should be used only by Brocade support

personnel, or at the request of Brocade support personnel.

For the 7800 switch and the FX8-24 blade, FTRACE is always enabled, and the trace data is

automatically captured.
