4 FTRACE concepts FTRACE concepts FTRACE is a support tool used primarily by your switch support provider. FTRACE can be used in a manner similar to that of a channel protocol analyzer. FTRACE may be used to troubleshoot problems using a Telnet session rather than sending an analyzer or technical support personnel to the site. CAUTION FTRACE is meant to be used solely as a support tool and should be used only by Brocade support personnel, or at the request of Brocade support personnel. For the 7800 switch and the FX8-24 blade, FTRACE is always enabled, and the trace data is automatically captured.

FTRACE concepts
FTRACE is a support tool used primarily by your switch support provider. FTRACE can be used in a
manner similar to that of a channel protocol analyzer. FTRACE may be used to troubleshoot
problems using a Telnet session rather than sending an analyzer or technical support personnel to
the site.
CAUTION
FTRACE is meant to be used solely as a support tool and should be used only by Brocade support
personnel, or at the request of Brocade support personnel.
For the 7800 switch and the FX8-24 blade, FTRACE is always enabled, and the trace data is
automatically captured.
For the 7500 switch and FR4-18i blade, FTRACE must be manually configured and enabled using
the
portCfg ftrace
command. Root access is required. The syntax for the
portCfg ftrace
command is
as follows:
portCfg ftrace
[
slot
/
]
ge0|ge1
tunnel_Id
cfg
[-
a
1|0] [-
b
value
] [-
e
1|0] [-
i
value
] [-
p
value
] [-
r
value
]
[
-s
value
] [
-t
value
] [
-z
value
]
Where:
slot
The number of a slot in a 48000 or DCX director chassis that contains an
FR4-18i blade. This parameter does not apply to the stand-alone 7500.
ge0|ge1
The Ethernet port used by the tunnel (ge0 or Ge1).
tunnelid
The tunnel number (0 - 7).
cfg
Creates an FTRACE configuration.
-
a
1|0
Enables or disables auto check out.
-
b
value
Number of buffers (range 0 to 8).
-
e
1|0
Enable or disable FTRACE.
-
i
value
Display mask value (range 0 to FFFFFFFF).
Default is FFFFFFFF.
-
p
value
Post trigger percentage value (range 0-100). Default is 5.
-
r
value
Number of records (range 0 through 1,677,721). Default us 200000.
-
s
value
Trigger mask value (range 00000000 to FFFFFFFF). Default is 00000003.
-
t
value
Trace mask value (range 00000000 to FFFFFFFF). Default is 80000C7B.
-
z
value
Trace record size (range 80 to 240 bytes). Default is 80 bytes.
The following example configures FTRACE with ACO disabled, and FTRACE enabled with a trigger
mask value of 00000003, and a trace mask value of ffffffff.
root:admin> portcfg ftrace ge0 3 cfg -a 0 -e 1 -p 5 -s 00000003 -t ffffffff
