Release Information
Statement introduced in Junos OS Release 9.3.
Support at the [edit logical-systems logical-system-name ...], [edit logical-systems logical-system-name routing-instances routing-instances-name ...], and [edit routing-instances routing-instances-name ...] hierarchy levels introduced in Junos OS Release 9.5.
Description
Define tracing operations for Mobile IP processes.
Options
file 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. Ensure that filenames are unique for each logical system or routing instance in which Mobile IP is configured.
![]() | Note: Global messages (common to all logical systems and routing instances) are always saved in /var/log/mipd. Messages that are specific to a logical system or routing instance are never saved in /var/log/mipd. If you do not configure a trace filename for a logical system or routing instance, then nothing is traced for that entity. |
files number—(Optional) Maximum number of trace files to create before overwriting the oldest one. If you specify a maximum number of files, you also must specify a maximum file size with the size option.
Range: 2 through 1000
Default: 3 files
flag flag—Tracing operation to perform. To specify more than one tracing operation, include multiple flag statements. You can include the following flags:
- all—Trace all operations.
- authentication—Trace authentication operations.
- binding—Trace bindings.
- event—Trace events.
- ha-fsm—Trace home agent state machine operations.
- home-agent—Trace home agent operations.
- interface-database—Trace interface database operations.
- packet—Trace packet decoding operations.
- protocol—Trace protocol operations.
- rtsock—Trace routing socket operations.
- session-db—Trace session database events.
- signal—Trace signal operations.
- subscriber—Trace subscriber events.
- timer—Trace timer events.
- trace—Trace changes in tracing.
- tunnel—Trace tunneling operations.
- user-interface—Trace user interface events.
level—Specify level of tracing to perform. You can specify any of the following levels:
- all—Match all levels.
- error—Match error conditions.
- info—Match informational messages.
- notice—Match notice messages about conditions requiring special handling.
- verbose—Match verbose messages.
- warning—Match warning messages.
match regular-expression—(Optional) Refine the output to include lines that contain the regular expression.
no-remote-trace—Disable remote tracing.
no-world-readable—(Optional) Disable unrestricted file access.
size maximum-file-size—(Optional) Maximum size of each trace file. By default, the number entered is treated as bytes. Alternatively, you can include a suffix to the number to indicate kilobytes (KB), megabytes (MB), or gigabytes (GB). If you specify a maximum file size, you also must specify a maximum number of trace files with the files option.
Syntax: sizek to specify KB, sizem to specify MB, or sizeg to specify GB
Range: 10240 through 1073741824
Default: 128 KB
world-readable—(Optional) Enable unrestricted file access.
Required Privilege Level
trace—To view this statement in the configuration.
trace-control—To add this statement to the configuration.
