Using the frameLog --show command
The output of --show displays the type of each discard.
The -type option of the frameLog --show command requires an argument, but only timeout is
supported at present. The timeout argument specifies that only timeout discards are shown.
Filtering results by back-end port in Frame Viewer
The Frame Viewer --show command supports specifying that the TX port or RX port of displayed
frames should be a back-end port. To filter by TX port or RX port, use a following command:
framelog --show -txport [slot/]port
or
framelog --show -rxport [slot/]port
or
framelog --show -txport [slot/]port -rxport [slot/]port
The -txport and -rxport options accept the arguments “-1” (for fixed-port switches) or “-1/-1”
(for modular switches). These arguments stand for “any back-end port.” Using this notation, you
can select specifically those discarded frames that have a back-end port in the TX port or RX port
field.
NOTE
Individual back-end ports cannot be specified, only the quality of being a back-end port can be
specified.
