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 Feature Information
Your software release may not support all the features documented in this module. For the latest feature information and caveats, see the release notes for your platform and software release. To find information about the features documented in this module, and to see a list of the releases in which each feature is supported, see the Feature Information Table at the end of this document.
Use Cisco Feature Navigator to find information about platform support and Cisco software image support. To access Cisco Feature Navigator, go to www.cisco.com/go/cfn. An account on Cisco.com is not required.
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. |
