Displaying Detailed IS-IS Protocol Information

Action

To trace IS-IS messages in detail, follow these steps:

  1. Configure the flag to display detailed IS-IS protocol messages.
    [edit protocols isis traceoptions] user@host# set flag hello detail
  2. Verify the configuration.
    user@host# show

    For example:

    [edit protocols isis traceoptions]user@host# show file isislog size 10k files 10;flag hello detail;
  3. Commit the configuration.
    user@host# commit
  4. View the contents of the file containing the detailed messages.
    user@host# run show log filename

    For example:

    user@host# run show log isislog
