Debug Buffer“dbuf” Understanding UsingThe Debug Buffer Snoop Debug Output Sending snoop debug output to the debug buffer (recommended) Allows for the viewing of the debug output as a whole, instead of line by line on the console screen Since console output is not viewable from a telnet or secure shell connection, the debug buffer can also be used for viewing snoop output from an telnet or secure shell connection CLI settings set console dbuf get console shows the debug is set to buffer Snoop Debug Output Sending snoop debug output to console Allows for real-time viewing of debug output Not recommended for snoop and most debugs unless otherwise specified If traffic flow is high, you may lose access to the console screen to perform any CLI commands including the disabling of debug CLI settings unset console dbuf get console shows that snoop debug output will be sent to console Debug Buffer (DBUF) To show the dbuf size in bytes get dbuf info To show the total, allocated, and left (available) memory get mem To allocate system memory for the debug buffer set dbuf size size dbuf size should not be modified without checking to make sure there is an ample amount of memory available on the NetScreen to allocate for added debug buffer space If the dbuf is capturing enough of the snoop or debug output for troubleshooting a problem, then the dbuf size does not need to be modified If the debug output being stored is larger than the size of the dbuf The snoop and debug output is stored first in first out (FIFO) Newer entries are stored and older ones are overwritten Debug Buffer (DBUF) To view the contents of the debug buffer (dbuf) get dbuf stream To send the contents of the debug buffer to a text file on a tftp server get dbuf stream tftp a.b.c.d filename.txt To clear the contents of the debug buffer (dbuf) clear dbuf NS1000 Warning NS1000 – Disabling snoop and debug To disable snoop on processor cards snoop off To disable debug on all processor cards undebug all
