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:
- Open the registry editor using Regedt32.exe.
- Go to the following key in the registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Traci
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.
