Chapter 21 Session Trace

N4100 User’s Guide

The subscriber session information is stored a plain text file with a “txt” filename 
extension. The general structure of the filename is 
<hostname>DDMMYYHHMMSS.txt. For example, “MIS221004131543.txt” is the 
file name of a session information file created at 13:15:43 PM on October 22, 
2004 on a N4100 with a hostname of “MIS”. 

You can view the subscriber session trace information using any text editor. The 
following figure shows an example of the session information file the N4100 sends 
to a TFTP server.
