When the traces that were enabled are generated in the switch, those traces are
seen as Ethernet trace packets in the packet capture tool or decoded in the Linux
or Solaris PC.
test.pcap at the appropriate time AND, in the Linux or Solaris PC, execute the
following with the captured file (test.pcap) as the input.
• In Linux, ./eth-trace-linux [-q -s 0 –n] –r <capture file
name> [ cpu <base|mezz> ether dst <mac address to be
filtered/decoded>]
• In Solaris, ./eth-trace-solaris [-q -s 0 –n] –r <capture file
name> [ cpu <base|mezz> ether dst <mac address to be
filtered/decoded>]
This command decodes the capture file and displays the trace messages per line.
You can also redirect the output to a file.

Value
Configures the port and the corresponding VLAN on
which the Ethernet trace packets are transmitted.
• <slot/port> specifies the port number in slot/
port format.
• <vlanId> identifies the VLAN that the port
belongs to. The range is 1..4094.
In the Master CP, no ports are assigned by default.
In the Standby CP, the management port is the
default port and cannot be modified.
Configure the MAC address that the Ethernet trace
packet use as the destination MAC address. Specify
<mac> as a 6–byte address in the format
