Session Trace Template Configuration Mode Commands

The commands of the Session Trace Template configuration mode define the various template parameters needed to manage the trace functionality of the Session Trace and Cell Traffic Trace features. These functions are described in your product Administration Guide.

Mode

Exec > Global Configuration > Session Trace Template Configuration

configure > template-session-trace network-element { { enb template-name cell-trace } | { { ggsn | hnbgw | mme | pgw | saegw | sgw } template-name template_name } }

Entering the above command sequence results in the following prompt:

[local]host_name(config-sesstrc-template)# 

Important

The commands or keywords/variables that are available are dependent on platform type, product version, and installed license(s).


archive

This command defines the archive directory capacity and other related parameters.

Exec > Global Configuration > Session Trace Template Configuration

configure > template-session-trace network-element { { enb template-name cell-trace } | { { ggsn | hnbgw | mme | pgw | saegw | sgw } template-name template_name } }

Entering the above command sequence results in the following prompt:

[local]host_name(config-sesstrc-template)# 

Syntax

[ no ] archive files  number_of_files size   sizetimer timer_value 

files number_of_files

Specifies the number of files that go into a directory before it is closed for archiving. The range is an integer from 1 to 10000.

size

Specifies the total file size in Megabytes (MB) an Archive Directory can hold. The range is an integer from 1 to 10.

timer timer_value

Specifies the timer expiry limit for files to be collected in the directory after which the pending directories are archived. The timer value is specified in seconds.

Usage Guidelines

The archive command is specific to the Cell Traffic Trace. This command is available under the cell-trace template under the eNodeB network element.

The archive command is used to archive file directories in a cell traffic tracing procedure. The file directories archived are displayed using a C Type file format. The C Type file includes trace information, which are available in the following fields: IMEI, IMSI, eNodeB identity, UE S1 AP identity and the MME UE S1 AP identity.

Example

The following configuration archives 100 files that can be stroed in a diectory of size 2 MB with timer limit of 200 seconds:
archive files 100 size 2 timer 200   

disk-limit

This command defines the total space reserved for files in the hard-disk.

Entering the above command sequence results in the following prompt:

[local]host_name(config-sesstrc-template)# 

Syntax

[ no ] disk-limit  disk_size   

no

Disables its following configured options.

disk_size

Specifies the disk reservation size in megabytes (MB). The disk-limit size ranges from 1 MB to 20480 MB. If disk-limit is not configured, a default size of 200 MB is allocated in the hard disk.

Usage Guidelines

The disk-limit command is specific to Cell Traffic Trace. This command is available under the cell-trace template under the eNodeB network element.

The disk-limit command defines the total space to be reserved on the hard disk. If disk-limit alone is configured then compression is not considered. However, a default size of 200 MB is allocated in the hard disk for storing Cell Traffic Trace files.

Example

The following configuration reserves 100 MB of space in the hard-disk for storing Cell Traffic Trace files:

disk-limit 100  

do show

Usage Guidelines

Use this command to run all Exec mode show commands while in Configuration mode. It is not necessary to exit the Config mode to run a show command.

The pipe character | is only available if the command is valid in the Exec mode.


Caution

There are some Exec mode show commands which are too resource intensive to run from Config mode. These include: do show support collection , do show support details , do show support record and do show support summary . If there is a restriction on a specific show command, the following error message is displayed:

Failure: Cannot execute 'do	show support' command from Config mode.
