Starting a Remote Packet Trace

You use the start a remote packet trace by entering the appropriate ACLI command with these pieces of information:

  • Network interface (name:subport ID combination)
  • IP address to be traced; if you do not enter local and/or remote ports when you start the trace, the Oracle Communications Session Border Controller will trace all ports
  • (Optional) Local UDP/TCP port on which the Oracle Communications Session Border Controller sends and receives traffic to be traced
  • (Optional) Remote UDP/TCP port to which the Oracle Communications Session Border Controller sends traffic, and from which it receives traffic to be traced; you cannot enter the remote port without specifying a local port

    To start a packet trace with local and remote ports specified:

  1. Enter the ACLI packet-trace remote command followed by a Space, and the word start. After another Space, type in the name and subport ID for the network interface followed by a Space, the IP address to be traced followed by a Space, the local port number followed by a Space, and then optionally the remote port number. Then press Enter.
