Tracing LMP Traffic

To trace LMP protocol traffic, include the traceoptions statement at the [edit protocols link-management] hierarchy level:

[edit protocols link-management]traceoptions {file filename <files number> <size size> <world-readable | no-world-readable>;flag flag <flag-modifier> <disable>; }

Use the file statement to specify the name of the file that receives the output of the tracing operation. All files are placed in the directory /var/log.

The following trace flags display the operations associated with the sending and receiving of various LMP messages:

  • all—Trace all available operations
  • hello-packets—Trace hello packets on any LMP control channel
  • init—Output from the initialization messages
  • packets—Trace all packets other than hello packets on any LMP control channel
  • parse—Operation of the parser
  • process—Operation of the general configuration
  • route-socket—Operation of route socket events
  • routing—Operation of the routing protocols
  • server—Server processing operations
  • show—Servicing operations for show commands
  • state—Trace state transitions of the LMP control channels and traffic engineering links

Each flag can carry one or more of the following flag modifiers:

  • detail—Provide detailed trace information
  • receive—Packets being received
  • send—Packets being transmitted
