traceoptions (Security Group VPN)

Syntax

Hierarchy Level

Description

Configure group VPN tracing options to aid in troubleshooting the IKE or server issues. This helps troubleshoot one or multiple tunnels negotiation by standard tracefile configuration. Tracing allows the user to view the detailed packet exchange and the negotiation information. Group VPNv2 is supported on SRX300, SRX320, SRX340, SRX345, SRX550HM, SRX1500, SRX4100, SRX4200, and SRX4600 devices and vSRX Virtual Firewall instances.

Options

• file—Configure the trace file options.

  • 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.

  • files number—Maximum number of trace files. When a trace file named trace-file reaches its maximum size, it is renamed to trace-file.0, then trace-file.1, and so on, until the maximum number of trace files is reached. The oldest archived file is overwritten.

    If you specify a maximum number of files, you also must specify a maximum file size with the size option and a filename.

    Range: 2 through 1000 files

    Default: 10 files

  • match regular-expression—Refine the output to include lines that contain the regular expression.

  • size maximum-file-size—Maximum size of each trace file, in kilobytes (KB), megabytes (MB), or gigabytes (GB). When a trace file named trace-file reaches this size, it is renamed trace-file.0. When the trace-file again reaches its maximum size, trace-file.0 is renamed trace-file.1 and trace-file is renamed trace-file.0. This renaming scheme continues until the maximum number of trace files is reached. Then the oldest trace file is overwritten.

    If you specify a maximum file size, you also must specify a maximum number of trace files with the files option and filename.

    Syntax: x k to specify KB, xm to specify MB, or xg to specify GB

    Range: 10 KB through 1 GB

    Default: 128 KB

  • world-readable | no-world-readable—By default, log files can be accessed only by the user who configures the tracing operation. The world-readable option enables any user to read the file. To explicitly set the default behavior, use the no-world-readable option.

• flag—Trace operation to perform. To specify more than one trace operation, include multiple flag statements.

  • all—Trace all activity.

  • certificates—Trace certificate-related activity.

  • config—Trace configuration activity.

  • database—Trace SA-related database activity.

  • general—Trace general activity.

  • parse—Trace configuration processing.

  • policy-manager—Trace IKE callback activity.

  • routing-socket—Trace routing socket activity.

  • thread—Trace thread processing.

  • timer—Trace timer activity.

• gateway-filter—Configure debugging for the tunnel between the group VPN server and a group member. This option is configured on a group VPN server or member.

  • local-address—When configured on a server, the IP address of the group VPN server. When configured on a member, the IP address of the group VPN member.

  • remote-address—When configured on a server, the IP address of the group VPN member. When configured on a member, the IP address of the group VPN server.

• level—Set the level of debugging.

  • all—Match all levels.
