SUMMARY
The Routing and Remote Access Service has options for up to 27 different types of logging or "tracing" that can be enabled through the registry. Output can be to a file or to the console. The log files will be located in the <%Systemroot%>\Tracing directory.



MORE INFORMATION
To enable tracing, perform the following steps:
 * 1) Open the registry editor using Regedt32.exe.
 * 2) Go to the following key in the registry:

The value EnableConsoleTracing (REG_DWORD) either permits or denies console tracing for all subkeys. 0 is off and 1 is on.

Console or File Tracing is then individually turned on or off for each of the 27 subkeys. These subkeys under the Tracing key each have a value for EnableConsoleTracing:REG_DWORD: and EnableFileTracing:REG_DWORD. File tracing will begin as soon as you edit the EnableFileTracing keys; however, to begin console tracing you will need to stop and restart the RRAS service.

The Subkeys that may be traced are:

  IPRIP2 IPRouterManager MIB-II Subagent MIB-II Utility OSPF OSPFMIB PPP RADIUS (NOTE: This key will only exist if your RRAS Server is            configured for RADIUS authentication.) RASADHLP RASAPI32 RASCHAP RASCPL RASDLG RASIPCP RASIPHLP RASMAN RASMON RASSCRIPT Router IPBOOTP IPX Traffic Filter Logging IPXCP IPXRIP IPXRouterManager IPXSAP IPXWAN RASAUTO RASNBFCP

The components that are actually traced depend on what protocols and services are installed on the computer. Double-click the value to bring up the DWORD Editor so the value can be changed.
