Usage Guidelines

This command enables debug mode. Debug mode must be enabled prior to configuring advanced debugging capabilities. These include allowing debug messages, which can severely degrade performance. For typical network device monitoring, debug mode should remain disabled, the default setting. Debug mode should only be enabled when advised by technical support, or when advanced diagnosis is required. The debug mode setting is saved to FLASH.

The following configuration options require that debug mode be enabled:

Including a severity of debug-summary, debug-verbose, or debug-data when configuring filters.
Target format options process-name, process-id, source-function, and source-line.

Example

The following command enables debug mode:

enable log debug-mode

When you enable debug mode, the following message appears:

WARNING: Debug mode should only be enabled when advised by technical support, or when advanced diagnosis is required. Performance degradation is possible. Debug mode now enabled.
