Conditional Debug and Radioactive Tracing

Radioactive Tracing for L2 Multicast

To identify a specific multicast receiver, specify the MAC address of the joiner or the receiver client, Group
Multicast IP address and Snooping VLAN. Additionally, enable the trace level for the debug. The debug level
will provide detailed traces and better visibility into the system.

Recommended Workflow for Trace files

The Recommended Workflow for Trace files is listed below:
1. To request the tracelogs for a specific time period.
EXAMPLE 1 day.
Use the command:
Device#request platform software trace archive last 1 day
2. The system generates a tar ball (.gz file) of the tracelogs in the location /flash:
3. Copy the file off the switch. By copying the file, the tracelogs can be used to work offline. For more
details on copying files, see section below.
4. Delete the tracelog file (.gz) file from /flash: location. This will ensure enough space on the switch for
other operations.

Copying tracefiles off the box

An example of the tracefile is shown below:
Device# dir crashinfo:/tracelogs
Directory of crashinfo:/tracelogs/
