/TRACE=size-option, mask-option, stop-option /NOTRACE Provides the LAN driver trace settings for the device. By default, most LAN drivers do tracing of error conditions and state changes. Tracing is controlled by an event mask that selects the events to trace, a stop mask that specifies when to stop tracing, and the size of the trace buffer. You can change tracing settings at any time. The LAN driver allocates the trace buffer from non-paged pool. You can calculate the amount of pool needed by multiplying the number of entries by the size of each entry, 32-bytes. The impact of tracing on the system is negligible for error and state change events, more significant when all events are selected, and very significant when full packet tracing is enabled. The command SHOW DEVICE/TRACE displays trace results as well as the trace mask. You can specify the following keywords with this qualifier: o size-option SIZE=value Use SIZE=value to specify the size of the trace buffer in entries, each 32 bytes. The default is 2048 entries. The permitted range is 256 to 1000000. The size MOD 3 encodes the amount of packet data to include, either 35 bytes, 66 bytes, 97 bytes, or the entire packet. o mask-option MASK=(value1,value2) Use MASK=(value1,value2) to specify the trace mask to select which type of entries should be collected in the trace buffer. The first 32 bits consist of events common to most LAN drivers. The second 32 bits consist of events specific to the LAN driver for the specified device. o stop-option STOP=(value1,value2) Use STOP=(value1,value2) to specify the trace mask to select which type of entries should stop tracing. When a trace entry is made that matches one of the bits in the stop mask, the trace mask is cleared so that you can look at the trace data accumulated so far.
