Enabling Ospf Debug Log Events - D-Link NetDefendOS User Manual

These are discussed next.
Additional OSPF Log Event Messages
By default, a range of basic log event messages are generated by OSPF operation within
NetDefendOS. For example, if the OSPFProcess object running under NetDefendOS is called
my_ospf_proc, normal log generation would be enabled with the CLI command:
gw-world:/> set OSPFProcess my_ospf_proc LogEnabled=Yes
This is the default setting so the command is only for illustration.
The following properties can be enabled to provide additional OSPF log messages for
troubleshooting and/or monitoring purposes:
• DebugPacket - Log general packet parsing events.
• DebugHello - Log Hello packets.
• DebugDDesc - Log database description packets.
• DebugExchange - Log exchange packets.
• DebugLSA - Log LSA events.
• DebugSPF - Log SPF calculation events.
• DebugRoute - Log routing table manipulation events.
Each of these properties can be assigned one of the following values:
• Off - Nothing is logged.
• Low - Logs all actions.
• Medium - Logs all actions but with more detail.
• High - Logs everything with maximum detail.
Note: The high setting generates large amounts of data
When using the High setting, the firewall will log a large amount of information, even
when just connected to a small AS. Changing the advanced setting Log Send Per Sec
Limit may be required.
Example 4.15. Enabling OSPF Debug Log Events
In this example, the DebugHello and DebugRoute log events will be enabled for the OSPFProcess
called my_ospf_proc.
