Configuring the Number and Size of Extended DHCP Local Server Processes Log Files

By default, when the trace file reaches 128 kilobytes (KB) in size, it is renamed jdhcpd.0, then jdhcpd.1, and so on, until there are three trace files. Then the oldest trace file (jdhcpd.2) is overwritten.

You can configure the limits on the number and size of trace files by including the following statements at the [edit system services dhcp-local-server traceoptions] hierarchy level:



[edit system services dhcp-local-server traceoptions]
file filename files number size size;

For example, set the maximum file size to 2 MB, and the maximum number of files to 20. When the file that receives the output of the tracking operation (jdhcpd) reaches 2 MB, jdhcpd is renamed jdhcpd.0, and a new file called jdhcpd is created. When the new jdhcpd reaches 2 MB, jdhcpd.0 is renamed jdhcpd.1 and filename is renamed jdhcpd.0. This process repeats until there are 20 trace files. Then the oldest file (jdhcpd.19) is overwritten by the newest file (jdhcpd.0).

The number of files can be from 2 through 1000 files. The file size of each file can be from 10KB through 1 gigabyte (GB).
