Diagnostics Trace Overview
The Diagnostics Trace tab allows Ancor service personnel to follow the progress
of selected operations as they proceed through the Switch. This tab is included in
the Switch Utilities for the customer because at some point, if you are
experiencing problems, an Ancor Service engineer may ask you to perform a
Diagnostics Trace, read the results, and send them back to the factory. Therefore,
use this tab only under the direction of Ancor Customer Service personnel.
