In order to debug and obtain output for the traffic flow through the Netscreen, you will need action a couple of commands, these are shown below,
5gt-> unset ff
filter 0 removed
5gt-> undebug all
5gt-> clear db
5gt-> set ff dst-port 8080
filter added
5gt-> debug flow basic
5gt-> get db str
Below shows you what each command does….
- unset ff =remove all flow filters
- undebug all = clears all previous debug settings
- clear db = clears the debug buffer
- set ff dst-port 8080 = creates a flow filter for port 8080
- debug flow basic = sets the debug flow level to basic
- get db str = shows the debug buffer stream
Once you have got your debug stream buffer you can remove the flow filter, the debug basic and clear the debug buffer.
