User Guidelines
Debug commands should be used with caution. Switch behavior may be
adversely affected by the additional processing load incurred by enabling
debug output. Use of debug level logging when performing operations such as
switch failover is not recommended.
Debug messages are sent to the system log at the DEBUG severity level. To
print them on the console, enable console logging at the DEBUG level
(logging console debug).
The debug options enabled for a specific peer are the union of the options
enabled globally and the options enabled specifically for the peer.
Enabling one of the packet type options enables packet tracing in both the
inbound and outbound directions.
