2.26.1 Tracing and Troubleshooting Feature Description

Following are the feature description for Tracing and Troubleshooting:

• Enables the user to create, enable, and disable tracing filters based on MTP3 and SCCP parameters to capture messages required for troubleshooting service issues.
• The vSTP tracing filters will generate PCAPNG file which captures the detailed information about the lifecycle of ingress message.
• The PCAPNG file, can be downloaded from file management of active SOAM over CLI as well as GUI status and manage file.
• The user can configure the repetition count of vSTP tracing filter to be tracked in PCAPNG file along with the duration up to which the vSTP tracing filter will remain active.
• Each repetition count will track the traced lifecycle of one ingress message.
• Each trace of PCAPNG file name starts with trace Id of the configured vSTP tracing filter and rotates from index 0 to 9.
• At vSTP, each ingress packet is either routed, discarded, or processed (similar to SSNM messages). As a result, the Trace Pcap file will capture the entire lifecycle of the message, from ingress to egress, ingress to discard or ingress to processed, based on the selected vSTP Tracing Filter.
• At vSTP the packet captured in PCAPNG file will have annotations corresponding to the actions, modifications, or operations performed.
• The Traceoam process at active SOAM will create PCAPNG files based on the traced packets received from vSTP MPs.
