Troubleshooting the IF-MAP Federation Network (NSM Procedure)

Diagnostic tools on the Infranet Controller can assist you with troubleshooting a federated network. You can obtain an IF-MAP client log and an IF-MAP server trace log from the diagnostic tools.

On the IF-MAP client, the IF-MAP Client User Messages option logs information that is published and removed from the IF-MAP server. On the IF-MAP server, the IF-MAP Server Trace option logs the XML for all IF-MAP requests and responses.

To enable IF-MAP Client User Messages and IF-MAP Server Trace option logs:

1. In the NSM navigation tree, select Device Manager > Devices.
2. Click the Device Tree tab, and then double-click the Infranet Controller for which you want to enable IF-MAP Client User Messages.
3. Click the Configuration tab. In the configuration tree, select System > Log/Monitoring.
4. From the User Access tab, select IFMAP Client User Messages to enable IF-MAP Client User Messages.
5. From the Events tab, select IFMAP Server Trace to enable IF-MAP Server Trace.

   Note: IF-MAP Server Trace should only be enabled for troubleshooting purposes, as running this diagnostic impacts performance.

6. Click one:
   • OK—Saves the changes.
   • Cancel—Cancels the modifications.
