Hierarchy Level
Release Information
Statement introduced in JUNOS Release 9.3.
Support at the [edit logical-systems logical-system-name services mobile-ip], [edit logical-systems logical-system-name routing-instances routing-instances-name services mobile-ip], and [edit routing-instances routing-instances-name services mobile-ip] hierarchy levels added in JUNOS Release 9.5.
Description
Define tracing operations for Mobile IP processes.
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. Ensure that filenames are unique for each logical system or routing instance in which Mobile IP is configured.
-
flag flag—Tracing operation to perform. To specify more than one tracing operation, include multiple flag statements. You can include the following flags:
- all—Trace all operations.
- authentication—Trace authentication operations.
- binding—Trace bindings.
- event—Trace events.
- home-agent—Trace home agent operations.
- interface-database—Trace interface database operations.
- packet—Trace packet decoding operations.
- protocol—Trace protocol operations.
- rtsock—Trace routing socket operations.
- session-db—Trace session database events.
- signal—Trace signal operations.
- subscriber—Trace subscriber events.
- timer—Trace timer events.
- trace—Trace changes in tracing.
- tunnel—Trace tunneling operations.
- user-interface—Trace user interface events.
-
level—Level of tracing to perform. You can specify any of the following levels:
- all—Match all levels.
- error—Match error conditions.
- info—Match informational messages.
- notice—Match notice messages about conditions requiring special handling.
- verbose—Match verbose messages.
- warning—Match verbose messages.

no-remote-trace—Disable remote tracing.

Note: Global messages (common to all logical systems and routing instances) are always saved in /var/log/mipd. Messages that are specific to a logical system or routing instance are never saved in /var/log/mipd. If you do not configure a trace filename for a logical system or routing instance, then nothing is traced for that entity. |
