Usage Guidelines
• If you use the basic command to start debug (debug ip packet start) the switch will use default param-
eters for all of the debug options. Once you configure one of the optional parameters, the switch will
use the new parameter(s) until changed.
• If you do not specify a timeout value, the session will continue until it is stopped.
• You must enter the start keyword to begin debugging.
• The command debug ip packet without the start keyword displays IP debug configuration parameters.
Examples
-> debug ip packet start timeout 1
