Tracing Operations of an Individual Router Interface

To trace the operations of individual router interfaces, include the traceoptions statement at the [edit interfaces interface-name] hierarchy level:

You can specify the following interface tracing flags:

• all—Trace all interface operations.
• event—Trace all interface events.
• ipc—Trace all interface interprocess communication (IPC) messages.
• media—Trace all interface media changes.

The interfaces traceoptions statement does not support a trace file. The logging is done by the kernel, so the tracing information is placed in the system syslog files.

For more information about trace operations, see Tracing Operations of the Interface Process.
