LAN communications trace considerations
Trace options are provided for some of the LAN protocols that allow you to select, at trace start time, which data to trace.
For example, you can start a trace to collect data for only a specific remote controller. Selecting one of these trace options when starting a trace will result in less trace data and reduce the need for a large trace buffer.
Trace-filtering options are not available for all LAN communications adapters. If the adapter does not support filtering, all data will be traced, and the following informational message will appear in the prologue of the formatted trace: Trace Options not supported. All data was traced (no filtering).
