traceoptions (Protocols MVPN)

Syntax

Hierarchy Level

Description

Trace traffic flowing through a Multicast BGP (MBGP) MVPN.

Options

disable—(Optional) Disable the tracing operation. You can use this option to disable a single operation when you have defined a broad group of tracing operations, such as all.

file filename—Name of the file to receive the output of the tracing operation. Enclose the name in quotation marks (" ").

files number—(Optional) Maximum number of trace files. When a trace file named trace-file reaches this size, it is renamed trace-file.0. When trace-file again reaches its maximum size, trace-file.0 is renamed trace-file.1 and trace-file is renamed trace-file.0. This renaming scheme continues 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 with the size option.

  • Range: 2 through 1000 files

  • Default: 2 files

flag flag—Tracing operation to perform. To specify more than one tracing operation, include multiple flag statements. You can specify any of the following flags:

  • all—All multicast VPN tracing options

  • cmcast-join—Multicast VPN C-multicast join routes

  • error—Error conditions

  • general—General events

  • inter-as-ad—Multicast VPN inter-AS automatic discovery routes

  • intra-as-ad—Multicast VPN intra-AS automatic discovery routes

  • leaf-ad—Multicast VPN leaf automatic discovery routes

  • mdt-safi-ad—Multicast VPN MDT SAFI automatic discovery routes

  • nlri—Multicast VPN advertisements received or sent by means of the BGP

  • normal—Normal events

  • policy—Policy processing

  • route—Routing information

  • source-active—Multicast VPN source active routes

  • spmsi-ad—Multicast VPN SPMSI auto discovery active routes

  • state—State transitions

  • task—Routing protocol task processing

  • timer—Routing protocol timer processing

  • tunnel—Provider tunnel events

  • umh—Upstream multicast hop (UMH) events

flag-modifier—(Optional) Modifier for the tracing flag. You can specify the following modifiers:

  • detail—Provide detailed trace information

  • disable—Disable the tracing flag

  • receive—Trace received packets

  • send—Trace sent packets

no-world-readable—Do not allow any user to read the log 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 this size, it is renamed trace-file.0. When trace-file again reaches its maximum size, trace-file.0 is renamed trace-file.1 and trace-file is renamed trace-file.0. This renaming scheme continues until the maximum number of trace files is reached. Then the oldest trace file is overwritten.

If you specify a maximum file size, you also must specify a maximum number of trace files with the files option.

  • Syntax: xk to specify kilobytes, xm to specify megabytes, or xg to specify gigabytes

  • Range: 10 KB through the maximum file size supported on your system

  • Default: 1 MB

world-readable—Allow any user to read the log file.
