Troubleshooting the IF-MAP Federation Network (NSM Procedure)

Diagnostic tools on the SA Series appliances can assist you with troubleshooting a federated network.

IF-MAP Client User Messages—On the IF-MAP client, logs the information that is published and removed from the IF-MAP server.

  • Enable IF-MAP Client User Messages from Log/Monitoring > User Access > Settings on the SA Series appliances IF-MAP client.

IF-MAP Server Trace—On the IF-MAP server, logs the XML for all IF-MAP requests and responses.

  • Enable the IF-MAP Server Trace from Log/Monitoring > Events > Settings on the IF-MAP server.

IF-MAP Server Trace should only be enabled for troubleshooting purposes, as running this diagnostic incurs a large performance impact.
