Performing a packet trace by using a line command

Use the following procedure to start a packet trace by using the line command. The packet trace can be started for a specific IP address, source port, destination port, protocol type, and packet length.

To perform a packet trace by using a line command

  1. From the EZIP menu, select CONNECTIONS from the TCP/IP Activity section.
  2. From the EZCONS menu, select one of the following types of connections from the CONNECTIONS section and press ENTER:
    • All

    • Listen

    • Active

    • TCP

    • UDP

    • TN3270

    • SMC
  3. In the COMMAND field, type PKT, and then press Enter.

    The Start Packet Trace pop-up window is displayed, showing details of the specific connection.

  4. Type any additional information that you want in this window, such as an identifier for the packet trace in the Trace Identifier field.
  5. Press F3, or type END to start the packet trace.

    The PKTTRACE view is displayed so that you can verify that the trace has been activated. ACTIVE is displayed in the Trace Status field.

    Other status types include:

    • STOP/NWRAP indicates that the packet trace stopped because the trace table wrapped and you specified no wrap for packet trace (Pkttrace Wrap).

  6. Press F3 to return to the CONNECTIONS view.
