area, type the following command:
clear trace {all | trace area}
For example, to stop a trace of session manager activity, type the following command:
DWS-1008# clear trace sm
success: change accepted.
The trace commands use the underlying logging mechanism to deliver trace messages. Trace messages
are generated with the debug severity level. By default, the only log target that receives debug-level
messages is the volatile trace buffer.
The volatile trace buffer receives messages for all log severities when any trace area is active. However,
if no trace area is active, no messages are sent to the trace buffer regardless of their severity. If you do
not enable trace commands, the trace buffer is effectively disabled.
Because traces use the logging facility, any other logging target can be used to capture trace messages
if its severity is set to debug. However, since tracing can be voluminous, D-Link discourages this in
practice. To enable trace output to the console, enter the command set log console severity debug.
If you attempt to send trace output to a Telnet session, be aware that tracing is disabled for areas
processing packets that might be associated with the Telnet session.
