Feature Information for X.25 Data Display Trace
X.25 Data Display Trace
The X.25 Data Display Trace feature enhances the Cisco IOS debugging capability for X.25. This feature enables an authorized user to display the entire X.25-encoded traffic stream, including user data, for those packets specified by an X.25 debug command.
Finding Support Information for Platforms and Cisco IOS Software Images

Feature Information for X.25 Data Display Trace
Displaying the Contents of X.25 Packets
To augment the reporting of X.25 traffic information to include the contents of the X.25 packets, use the commands listed in the following task. Note that an entry of the debug x25, debug x25 interface, debug x25 vc, or debug x25 xot commands will override any prior entry of any of these commands.
Caution 
The reported X.25 packet information may contain sensitive data; for example, clear-text account identities and passwords. The network access policies and router configuration should be controlled appropriately to address this risk.
Caution 
The X.25 debug commands can generate large amounts of debugging output. If logging of debug output to the router console is enabled (the default condition), this output may fill the console buffer, preventing the router from processing packets until the contents of the console buffer have been printed.
SUMMARY STEPS
1.
enable
2.
debug x25 [only | cmns | xot] [events | all] [dump]
3.
debug x25 interface {serial-interface | cmns-interface [mac mac-address]} [vc number] [events | all] [dump]
4.
debug x25 vc number [events | all] [dump]
5.
debug x25 xot [remote ip-address [port number]] [local ip-address [port number]] [events | all] [dump]
DETAILED STEPS
| |
Command or Action
|
Purpose
|
Step 1
|
enable
Example:
Router> enable
|
Enables privileged EXEC mode.
• Enter your password if prompted.
|
Step 2
|
debug x25 [only | cmns | xot] [events | all]
[dump]
Example:
Router# debug x25 events
|
Displays information about all X.25 traffic or a specific X.25 service class.
• Use the dump keyword to display the contents, including user data, of X.25 packets.
|
Step 3
|
debug x25 interface {serial-interface |
cmns-interface [mac mac-address]} [vc number]
[events | all] [dump]
Example:
Router# debug x25 interface serial 0 dump
|
Displays information about X.25, Annex G or CMNS contexts or virtual circuits that occur on the identified interface.
• CMNS reports may be restricted to packets occurring on the interface with the specified remote host.
• Use the dump keyword to display the contents, including user data, of X.25 packets.
|
Step 4
|
debug x25 vc number [events | all] [dump]
Example:
Router# debug x25 vc 1 events
|
Displays information about traffic for all virtual circuits that use a given number.
• Use the dump keyword to display the contents, including user data, of X.25 packets.
|
Step 5
|
debug x25 xot [remote ip-address [port number]]
[local ip-address [port number]] [events | all]
[dump]
Example:
Router# debug x25 xot remote 10.0.155.71 port
1998
|
Displays information about traffic to or from a specific X.25 over TCP (XOT) host.
• Use the dump keyword to display the contents, including user data, of X.25 packets.
