What to do next
The commands
request platform software trace filter-binary
and
show platform software trace
filter-binary
work in a similar way. The only difference is:
Note
•
request platform software trace filter-binary
- Sources the data from historical logs.
•
show platform software trace filter-binary
– Sources the data from the flash Temp directory.
Of these,
mac_log <..date..>
is the most important file, as it gives the messages for the MAC we are debugging.
The command
show platform software trace filter-binary
also generates the same flash files, and also prints
the mac_log on the screen.
