WANDSess
Description: Similar to WANDisplay, but WANDSess displays only incoming and outgoing
packets for a specific user. WANDSess is particularly helpful for troubleshooting a MAX with
several simultaneous active connections. The volume of output from commands such as
WANDisplay make them not as effective for troubleshooting issues for particular users.
WANDSess is a filter to let you focus your troubleshooting.
If you enter the command while traffic through your MAX is heavy, the resulting amount of
output can make it tedious to find the information you are looking for. The screen might even
display the message
----- data lost -----
, which just means that not all the output
can be displayed on the screen. You might prefer to use the WANDSess command during a
period of low throughput.
Usage: wandsess
user_name_or_profile_name number_of
octets_to_display_from each_packet
Enter
wandsess
user_name_or_profile_name
0
to disable the logging of this
information.
Example:
MAX> wandsess gzoller 24
RECV-gzoller:300:: 1 octets @ 3E13403C
[0000]: 7E 21 45 00 00 3E 15 00 00 00 20 7D 31 C2 D2
RECV-gzoller:300:: 15 octets @ 3E133A24
[0000]: D0 7D B3 7D B1 B3 D0 7D B3 90 02 04 03 00 35
XMIT-gzoller:300:: 84 octets @ 3E12D28C
[0000]: 7E 21 45 00 00 4E C4 63 00 00 1C 7D 31 17 5F D0
[0010]: 93 90 02 D0 93 91 B3 00
Notice that the only difference in output between WANDSess and WANDisplay is that with
WANDSess, the name of the user is displayed in a message. The data is identical in content,
but WANDSess displays no data from any other sessions.

WANNext
Description: Similar to WANDisplay, but WANNext displays only incoming and outgoing
packets for the next successfully authenticated user. As with WANDSess, the output is the
same as for WANDisplay but is filtered to include only data from a single user.
If you enter the command while traffic through your MAX is heavy, the resulting amount of
output can make it tedious to find the information you are looking for. The screen might even
display the message
----- data lost -----
, which just means that not all the output
can be displayed on the screen. You might prefer to use the WANNext command during a
period of low throughput.
Usage: wannext
number_of_octets_to_display_from_each_packet
Enter
WANNext 0
to disable the logging of this information.
