About Trace Results
The trace commands use the underlying logging mechanism to deliver trace messages.
Trace messages are generated with the debug severity level. By default, the only log target
that receives debug-level messages is the volatile trace buffer.
The volatile trace buffer receives messages for all log severities when any trace area is active.
However, if no trace area is active, no messages are sent to the trace buffer regardless of
their severity. If you do not enable trace commands, the trace buffer is effectively disabled.
Because traces use the logging facility, any other logging target can be used to capture trace
messages if its severity is set to debug. However, since tracing can be voluminous, D-Link
discourages this in practice. To enable trace output to the console, enter the command
set
log console severity debug
.
If you attempt to send trace output to a Telnet session, be aware that tracing is disabled for
areas processing packets that might be associated with the Telnet session.
