Enabling and disabling the Route Switch Processor Packet
Tracing
Configure the Route Switch Processor (RSP) Packet Tracing to observe the behavior of the
RSP on each R and RS/8800 module. The RSP is the programmable Application Specific
Integrated Circuit (ASIC) that controls the ports and traffic flow.
Prerequisites
• Log on to Global Configuration mode.
Procedure steps
Important:
The ACLI command accepts only a single port.
1. Enable the RSP ingress Packet Tracing by using the following command:
2. Confirm the configuration by using the following command:
Troubleshooting
Enabling and disabling the Route Switch Processor Packet Tracing
rsp-trace ingress-pkt-trace <slot/port> enable [<interval-
value>]
OR
Enable the RSP egress Packet Tracing by using the following command:
rsp-trace egress-pkt-trace <slot/port> enable [<interval-
value>]
Note:
If you use the egress-packet-trace feature on a BEB switch interface that
is not SPBM enabled, the MAC-in-MAC header appears in the trace because the
packet was captured prior to the egress RSP stripping off the MAC-in-MAC
header.
