Description

Define tracing operations for the 802.1X protocol.

Default

Tracing operations are disabled.

Options

file filename—Name of the file to receive the output of the tracing operation. Enclose the name within quotation marks. All files are placed in the directory /var/log.

file number—(Optional) Maximum number of trace files. When a trace file named trace-file reaches its maximum size, it is renamed trace-file.0, then trace-file.1, and so on, until the maximum xk to specify KB, xm to specify MB, or xg to specify gigabytes number of trace files is reached. Then the oldest trace file is overwritten. If you specify a maximum number of files, you also must specify a maximum file size with the sizeoption.

Range: 2 through 1000

Default: 3 files

flag flag—Tracing operation to perform. To specify more than one tracing operation, include multiple flag statements. You can include the following flags:

all—All tracing operations.
config-internal—Trace internal configuration operations.
general—Trace general operations.
normal—Trace normal operations.
parse—Trace reading of the configuration.
regex-parse—Trace regular-expression parsing operations.
state—Trace protocol state changes.
task—Trace protocol task operations.
timer—Trace protocol timer operations.

match regex—(Optional) Refine the output to include lines that contain the regular expression.

no-world-readable—(Optional) Restricted file access to the user who created the file.

size size—(Optional) Maximum size of each trace file, in kilobytes (KB), megabytes (MB), or gigabytes. When a trace file named trace-file reaches its maximum size, it is renamed trace-file.0, then trace-file.1, and so on, until the maximum number of trace files is reached. Then the oldest trace file is overwritten. If you specify a maximum number of files, you also must specify a maximum file size with the files option.

Syntax: xk to specify KB, xm to specify MB, or xg to specify gigabyte

Range: 10 KB through 1gigabyte

Default: 128 KB

world-readable—(Optional) Enable unrestricted file access.
