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:
1 In the Organizer pane, expand the WX switch for which you want to
configure tracing.
2 Expand Management Services.
3 Expand Log.
4 Select Trace.
5 Select Config > Insert > Trace Area. The Create Trace Area dialog box
appears.
6 In 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 ?.
7 Optionally, 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.
