Question & Answer
Question
Sometimes it is necessary to trace network traffic to diagnose Framework and other Tivoli product problems. How is this done on HP-UX?
Answer
The nettl utility performs network tracing.
Example of commands and steps are shown below to create and format a network trace between a source and destination host.
Turn on trace:
# nettl -start
# nettl -tn 0x30800000 -e ns_ls_ip -size 1024 -tracemax 99999 -f /tmp/rawout
Duplicate the error
To turn off trace:
# nettl -tf -e all
Make a text file called /tmp/filter with the contents:
filter ip_saddr <ip_addr of source>
filter ip_daddr <ip_addr of destination>
The following command performs formatting of the binary data generated by nettl
netfmt -N -n -l -c /tmp/filter -f /tmp/rawout.TRC0 > /tmp/iptrace
