SmartTrace with EE

EE traces have summary information that indicates the characteristics of the SNA information contained within the trace.

EE SmartTrace (/EETRACE) enables you to trace:

• Packets bound for a selected EE remote control point
• All the RTP pipes for a specific priority, flowing over one EE connection
• Individual RTP pipes
• RTP pipes using one local VIPA
• The packets using a specified UDP port

Trace EE Remote CP

Use the EE Remote CP Trace to start and manage traces of packets bound for a selected EE remote control point.

To start the EE Remote CP trace

1. Enter /EETRACE.C at the command prompt.

   The Major Node summary appears.

2. Enter PT against a line.

   The Activate Packet Trace panel appears.

3. Press F6 (Action).

   The packet trace of the EE remote CP starts.

   Note: For information on the actions and fields on this panel, press F1 (Help).

Trace EE UDP Connection

Use the EE UDP Connection Trace to trace all of the EE RTP pipes flowing over one EE connection.

The connection is defined by the local and remote addresses and UDP ports.

To start the EE UDP Connection trace

1. Enter /EETRACE.U at the command prompt.

   A list of EE UDP Connections appears.

2. Enter PT against a connection.

   The packet trace of the selected RTP pipe starts.

   Note: For information on the actions and fields on this panel, press F1 (Help).

Trace EE RTP Pipe

Use the trace EE RTP pipes to manage packet traces of individual RTP pipes.

To start the EE RTP Pipe trace

1. Enter /EETRACE.R at the command prompt.

   The EE RTP Pipe List appears.

2. Enter PT against a Pipe.

   The packet trace of the selected RTP pipe starts.

   Note: For information on the actions and fields on this panel, press F1 (Help).

Trace EE Local VIPA

Use the EE Local VIPA Trace to trace EE packets through one local VIPA.

To start the EE local VIPA trace

1. Enter /EETRACE.V at the command prompt.

   The Major Node summary appears.

2. Enter PT against a Line Group.

   The Activate Packet Trace panel appears.

3. Press F6 (Action).

   The packet trace of the local IP Address (VIPA) starts.

   Note: For information on the actions and fields on this panel, press F1 (Help).

Trace EE UDP Port

Use the EE UDP Port trace to trace all of the EE packets for a specified EE UDP port.

• For a traffic port (12001 to 12004), the trace includes all of the RTP pipes that use the associated priority, flowing over any EE connection
• For the signal port (12000), the trace includes signal data for every EE connection

To start the EE UDP Port trace

1. Enter /EETRACE.P at the command prompt.

   The Port Number prompt appears.

2. Enter the required port number.

   The Activate Packet Trace panel appears.

3. Press F6 (Action).

   The Packet Trace List appears.

   Note: For information on the actions and fields on this panel, press F1 (Help).

Display Active and Completed EE SmartTraces

Use the EE Active and Ended Traces option to list the running, ended, and saved EE SmartTraces.

Note: Saved EE traces need the EE command to apply the SNA formatting.

To list all of the EE SmartTrace definitions, enter /EETRALL at the command prompt.

The EE Active and Ended Traces panel appears.

Note: For information on the actions and fields on this list, press F1 (Help).
