Tracing Events

The CLI trace command provides a means to trace the operation of various
protocols. The trace provides detailed information including RSTP packet
decodes, IGMP activity and MAC address displays.
Notes:
Note that all tracing is disabled upon switch startup.
In order to display the current trace settings and discover the systems that be
traced, enter the CLI command "trace ?".

Enabling Tracing

Tracing can be enabled on a per subsystem basis. Obtain detailed information
about individual subsystems by entering "trace subsystem_name ?<CR>". Some
subsystems offer a mechanism to enable tracing only on certain ports.
