Syntax

Hierarchy Level

Description

Define tracing operations for the 802.1X protocol.

Default

Tracing operations are disabled.

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.

files number—(Optional) Maximum number of trace files. 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. If you specify a maximum number of files, you also must specify a maximum file size by using 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—All tracing operations.

  • config-internal—Trace internal configuration operations.

  • dot1x-event—(Switches with ELS only) Trace 802.1x events.

  • dot1x-debug—(Switches without ELS) Trace 802.1x events.

  • dot1x-ipc—(Switches with ELS only) Trace IPC interactions.

  • eapol—Trace EAPOL packets transmitted and received.

  • esw-if—(Switches without ELS) Trace ESW interactions.

  • general—Trace general operations.

  • normal—Trace normal operations.

  • parse—Trace reading of the configuration.

  • regex-parse—Trace regular-expression parsing operations.

  • state—Trace protocol state changes.

  • task—Trace protocol task operations.

  • timer—Trace protocol timer operations.

  • vlan—Trace VLAN transactions.

match regex—(Optional) Refine the output to include lines that contain the regular expression.

no-world-readable—(Optional) Restrict file access to the user who created the file.

size size—(Optional) Maximum size of each trace file, in kilobytes (KB), megabytes (MB), or gigabytes (GB). 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. If you specify a maximum number of files with the files option, you also must specify a maximum file size.

  • Syntax: xk to specify KB, xm to specify MB, or xg to specify GB

  • Range: 10 KB through 1 GB

  • Default: 128 KB

world-readable—(Optional) Enable unrestricted file access.
