Name

debug — global

Synopsis

debug level
undebug level
undebug all

Configures

System debugging

Default

Disabled

Description

This command enables debugging at the specified level. Just about every configuration item within the IOS has a debug level associated with it. The debug ? command gives you an extensive list that allows you to find the debug level that meets your needs.

Be careful in selecting your debug level; you can easily crash a busy router with the incorrect selection. For example, debug ip packet might render a busy router useless until debugging is disabled. See Chapter 14 for more information on using debug correctly. If you get in trouble, issue the command undebug all, which disables all debug output.

Example

Here is the output from debug ip ?:
