traceoptions (Egress Protection)

Syntax

Hierarchy Level

Description

CAUTION:

Enabling tracing can adversely impact scale and performance and may increase security risk. We strongly recommend using the trace, tracing, or traceoptions commands only under the guidance of a JTAC support engineer. After collecting the debug information, immediately disable tracing to minimize risk and restore normal system performance.

Configure tracing operations for egress protection.

Options

filename

Name of the file to receive the output of the tracing operation.
files number

(Optional) Maximum number of trace files. If you specify a maximum number of files, you must also include the size statement to specify the maximum file size. 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.

  • Range: 2 through 1000

  • Default: 2 files
flag

  • all—Trace all operations
