APPN Set Trace

This option allows you to configure APPN node trace parameters. The traces are activated when the configuration file is applied to the device. The traces will continue to be active until they are stopped when a new configuration that stops the traces is applied to the device.

Note: Running traces on the device can affect its performance. Traces should be started only when needed for node service and should be stopped as soon as the required amount of trace information is gathered.

The APPN traces are grouped into the following 5 categories:
