/TRACE=size-option, mask-option, stop-option
/NOTRACE
Provides the LAN driver trace settings for the device. By
default, most LAN drivers do tracing of error conditions and
state changes. Tracing is controlled by an event mask that
selects the events to trace, a stop mask that specifies when
to stop tracing, and the size of the trace buffer.
You can change tracing settings at any time. The LAN driver
allocates the trace buffer from non-paged pool. You can calculate
the amount of pool needed by multiplying the number of entries by
the size of each entry, 32-bytes.
The impact of tracing on the system is negligible for error
and state change events, more significant when all events are
selected, and very significant when full packet tracing is
enabled.
The command SHOW DEVICE/TRACE displays trace results as well as
the trace mask.
You can specify the following keywords with this qualifier:
o size-option
SIZE=value
Use SIZE=value to specify the size of the trace buffer in
entries, each 32 bytes. The default is 2048 entries. The
permitted range is 256 to 1000000.
The size MOD 3 encodes the amount of packet data to include,
either 35 bytes, 66 bytes, 97 bytes, or the entire packet.
o mask-option
MASK=(value1,value2)
Use MASK=(value1,value2) to specify the trace mask to select
which type of entries should be collected in the trace
buffer. The first 32 bits consist of events common to most
LAN drivers. The second 32 bits consist of events specific to
the LAN driver for the specified device.
o stop-option
STOP=(value1,value2)
Use STOP=(value1,value2) to specify the trace mask to select
which type of entries should stop tracing. When a trace entry
is made that matches one of the bits in the stop mask, the
trace mask is cleared so that you can look at the trace data
accumulated so far.
