Configuring gated

Trace options specify the desired level of tracing output from

gated

.

Tracing output provides useful system information for setting up a node
on the network. Use trace options to set up a node and to send a certain
type of tracing to a log file. You can specify tracing in the following ways:

•

In a protocol statement in the

/etc/gated.conf

 configuration file.

•

In the Trace class of the

/etc/gated.conf

 configuration file.

•

On the command line with the

-t

 option when starting

gated

.

Trace information is appended to the trace file unless you specify

replace

. Command-line options are useful for tracing events in

gated

before the configuration file is read.

In

gated

 3.5.9, the two Trace class statements (

tracefile

 and

traceoptions

) are combined into one

traceoptions

 statement.

Therefore, the

tracefile

 statement is eliminated. For details about the

new syntax, type

man 4 gated.conf

 at the HP-UX prompt.

Table 3-2 shows the

gated.conf

global trace options related to protocols.

state

Traces the state machine transitions in the
protocols.

normal

Traces the normal protocol events (abnormal
protocol events are always traced).

policy

Traces the application of protocol and
user-specified policies to routes that are imported
and exported.

task

Traces the system interface and processing
associated with this protocol or peer.
