The 

directory

can be reached by FTP or by using the 

 

command from the 

 directory.

The system automatically saves trace files to the internal flash. The files are saved to the 
TRACE_LOG_DIR directory on the flash, and are named so that they can be viewed in a logical order. The 
first automatic CP software trace file is labeled 

and the

first automatic CP hardware 

trace file is labeled 

. Up to five trace logs are saved before the system begins 

overwriting them (sw_trace_RPM0CP.1, and so on until sw_trace_RPM0CP.4, hw_trace_RPM0CP.1, and 
so on until hw_trace_RPM0CP.4). 

These files are saved in 

. At reload this directory is renamed 

to 

 and an empty 

 

directory is created.

Trace file hw_trace_RPM0CP.0 is not overwritten so that chassis bootup message are preserved. 

The CP and LP trace file names are:

•

CP [SW trace] : sw_trace_RPM0CP.0, sw_trace_RPM0CP.1, sw_trace_RPM0CP.2, 
sw_trace_RPM0CP.3 and sw_trace_RPM0CP.4 

•

CP [HW trace] : hw_trace_RPM0CP.0, hw_trace_RPM0CP.1, hw_trace_RPM0CP.2, 
hw_trace_RPM0CP.3 and hw_trace_RPM0CP.4 

•

LP [SW trace] : sw_trace_LP[0-7].0, sw_trace_LP[0-7].1, sw_trace_LP[0-7].2, sw_trace_LP[0-7].3 
and sw_trace_LP[0-7].4

•

LP [HW trace] : hw_trace_LP[0-7].0, hw_trace_LP[0-7].1, hw_trace_LP[0-7].2, hw_trace_LP[0-7].3 
and hw_trace_LP[0-7].4 

Trace files are saved in the directory 

. Upon a system reload 

this directory is renamed 

, and an empty 

 directory is created.

The RPM and line card trace logs are enabled by default. The trace logs are saved automatically but you 
can save the contents of a buffer manually with the CLI. The files are named the same whether they are 
saved automatically or manually.

Note: At reload this directory is renamed to 

 and a new 

empty 

 directory is created.
