ipsectrcbuf Command

Purpose

Lists the contents of tracing buffers in the IP Security subsystem.

Syntax

ipsectrcbuf [-l {0|1|2}]

Description

The IP Security subsystem maintains a memory resident trace buffer to help debug if there is a problem. The content of the buffer, a fixed number of the most recent trace messages, will be in a system dump or can be listed by running this command with no arguments.

Flags

-l

Sets the IP Security trace level. By default, of the nine IP Security trace hooks, only IPSEC_ERROR trace messages are put into the buffer. To enable or disable the other trace hooks, use the -l flag with one of the following values:

0: Only IPSEC_ERROR trace messages are written to the buffer. This is the default.
1: IPSEC_FILTER, IPSEC_CAPSUL, IPSEC_CRYPTO, IPSEC_TUNNEL, as well as IPSEC_ERROR trace messages are written to the buffer.
2: All IP Security trace messages are put into the buffer (that includes IPSEC_FILTER_INFO, IPSEC_CAPSUL_INFO, IPSEC_CRYPTO_INFO, and IPSEC_TUNNEL_INFO as well as those in level 1).
