Trace Address

This command, used with the ELS packet tracing facility, controls packet tracing configuration for the SuperELAN.

Setting the Destination Address Value, Destination Address Mask, Source Address Value, and Source Address Mask provides a mechanism for limiting the frames sent or received by the SuperELAN bridge to be traced. Frames passing the MAC address trace filter will be forwarded to ELS to be traced. A frame is considered traceable if:

For example, the following trace address settings will trace any frame received or transmitted to any ELAN in the SuperELAN that has a destination address of 0x000012120021 and was originated from any device with a MAC address beginning with 0x10005A.

  1. Enter the SuperELAN Trace Dest Address mask.

    Valid Values: Any 12-hexadecimal digit MAC address mask.

    Default Value: 0

  2. Enter the SuperELAN Trace Dest Address value.

    Valid Values: Any 12-hexadecimal digit MAC address value.

    Default Value: 0

  3. Enter the SuperELAN Trace Source Address masl.

    Valid Values: Any 12-hexadecimal digit MAC address mask.
