MML Command Reference

MML Command Reference

This chapter describes each of the MML commands you can use with the Cisco media gateway controller (MGC). MML is used to configure your MGC, add components to your system, retrieve information about system components, and perform logging and tracing. For information on starting MML and using MML commands, see the Cisco Media Gateway Controller Software Release 7 Provisioning Guide. The command descriptions in this chapter are arranged in alphabetical order. This chapter contains the following sections:

MML Command Overview

This overview describes MML command syntax, conventions used with MML commands, and responses expected from MML.

MML Command Guidelines

MML commands use the following syntax:

command_name:[target][, target][, target. . .][:Parameter_List][;comments]
 

When entering MML commands, remember the following:


TimeSaver To repeat the last MML command you entered, use the up arrow. To scroll through all previous MML commands, continue to use the up (and down) arrow. To modify and reenter a previously entered command, use the up arrow to display the command and then the left arrows and right arrows, Backspace, Delete, and alphanumeric keys to edit the command. Press Enter to reenter the command.

See the Cisco Media Gateway Controller Software Release 7 Provisioning Guide for instructions on starting an MML session and using MML to configure the Cisco MGC.

MML Command Conventions

Conventions used in MML commands are described in this section.

Backus-Naur Conventions

MML commands use the Backus-Naur symbols shown in Table 1-1.
Table 1-1: MML Backus-Naur Conventions
Symbol Description

|

A pipe. Either the preceding symbol or the succeeding symbol may occur, but not both in succession.

[ ]

These brackets enclose an optional parameter.

{ | }

Either the preceding symbol or the succeeding symbol may occur, but not both in succession. There may be more than two symbols and pipes.

< >

This symbol encloses a symbol specifier.

Bellcore TL1 Conventions

The structure of MML is based on the Telcordia (Bellcore) TL1 standard (TR-NWT-831, Operations Application Message - Operations Applications Messages, Issue 3). Therefore, MML commands can be interpreted and monitored through a network's TL1 interface. The TL1 symbols shown in Table 1-2 are used in MML.
Table 1-2: MML Bellcore TL1 Conventions
Symbol Description

:

A parameter separator.

::

An empty parameter block.

&

Arguments are grouped together so that one parameter may convey several arguments.

;

End of command (optional). Anything on the same line after this symbol is treated as a comment.

Wildcards in MML Commands

Some MML commands support the use of wildcards. For Release 7.4, wildcards are available only as either postfix or prefix to MML names. The syntax for using wildcards with MML commands is as follows:

<MML command name>:<*><part of TID MML name><*>:[optional parameters]
 

For example, there are two ways to retrieve admin states of trunk groups using wildcards, RTRV-ADM-STATE:TG* retrieves the admin state of all trunk groups with MML names starting with "TG". Similarly, RTRV-ADM-STATE:*GP retrieves the admin state of all trunk groups with MML names ending with "GP".

For Release 7.4, the commands supported are as follows:

MML Responses

Messages that MML can display are described in this section.

MML Status Messages

After you enter an MML command, the system performs the task you requested and returns a status message. Table 1-3 lists the MML status messages and descriptions.


Table 1-3: MML Status Messages
Status Meaning Definition

COMPLD

Completed

MML received a response from the subsystem on which it performed the action.


Note A completed response does not always signify successful completion. A completed response can be returned on invalid components, such as alarms.

RTRV

Retrieve

Retrieve and display the contents of the specified file.

SUCC

Successful

Successful completion.

SWDC

Waiting for Dependency

Status message---Waiting for dependent processes to start.

SWDT

Waiting for Dependency

Status message---Waiting for dependent processes to stop. This is not an error. Enter the RTRV-SOFTW command to see when the dependent processes have stopped.

MML Error Messages

MML displays error messages if a command cannot be performed. Table 1-4 lists the MML error messages and descriptions.


Table 1-4: MML Error Message Descriptions
Error Code Meaning Definition

DENY

Command denied

The command is recognized, but the system does not allow you to perform the requested function.

ICNV

Input command not valid

The MML command is not recognized.

IDNV

Input data not valid

An unknown parameter was entered.

Example:

SABT

Status abort

The command did not finish in the time allocated.

SCNF

Status not found

There are problems with the engine.

SNVS

State not in valid state

The requested operation failed because the component is not configured to accept the operation. It is possible that the component is already performing the operation or is already in the desired state.

SNSP

State not supported

This operation is not supported by the component.

SROF

Status requested operation failed

The requested operation failed on the component.

MML Commands

This section describes each of the MML commands.

ACK-ALM---Acknowledge Alarm

Purpose:

This MML command is used to acknowledge that an alarm category on a component is recognized but the alarm is not cleared. If this is the last current alarm of a specific severity, then the associated alarm relay is turned off.

Format:

ack-alm:<comp>:"<alm cat>"

Description:

  • comp---The component that is generating the alarm. Components are described in the "Components, Processes, and Properties.". Use the PROV-RTRV:all command described on page 1-22 to retrieve a list of system components.

  • alm cat---The alarm category, or the text that appears in the body of the alarm. Use the RTRV-ALMS command described on page 1-28 to retrieve all active alarms. Also see the "Alarm/Event Categories" section.


Note The alarm category is case sensitive and it must be in quotation marks.

Example:

The following example acknowledges a Config Fail alarm for the I/O channel manager process:

mml> ACK-ALM:IOCM-01:"Config Fail"
Virtual Switch Controller - VSC-01 2000-01-12 15:19:51 
M  COMPLD
   ;

Comments:

The format of alarm category name must be the same as the format of the alarm category name retrieved using the RTRV-ALMS command (which is why the alarm category must be in uppercase). See the "Alarm/Event Categories" section to check alarm category message syntax.

This alarm allows wildcarding.

BLK-CIC---Block a Circuit or a Circuit Range

Purpose:

This MML command blocks a circuit or range of circuits from carrying calls.

Format:

blk-cic:<point code>:CIC=<number>[,RNG=<slaves>]

Description:

  • point code---MML component name of a destination point code created with PROV-ADD:ptcode.

  • number---A valid circuit identification code.

  • slaves---A number such that number+slaves is a valid circuit identification code (CIC). All circuits between number and number+range are blocked.

Example:

The MML command shown in the following example blocks CIC 5 and the next 10 CICs on the destination point code dpc1:

mml> BLK-CIC:dpc1:CIC=5,RNG=10
Virtual Switch Controller - VSC-01 2000-01-12 15:19:51 
M  COMPLD
   "dpc1"
   ;                                             

Comments:

Enter the RTRV-TC:all command (or RTRV-CIC command) to see whether CICs were blocked.

Blocking a single CIC causes a BLA message to be sent to the destination SSP. Blocking a range of CICs causes a GBL message to be sent to the destination SSP. The range option only can be used to block CICs within a given trunk (T1 or E1).

To unblock a CIC, use the UNBLK-CIC command.

CHG-DPL---Update Customer-Specific Number Manipulation Tables

Purpose:

This MML command updates customer-specific number manipulation tables based on the supplied customer group ID (previously called the virtual private network (vnet) ID).

Format:

chg-dpl::CUSTGRPID="<customer group ID>"

Description:

  • customer group id---The identifier (customer group ID). This is also called the vnet ID. It is a four-character alphanumeric field. It is not validated by MML.

Example:

The MML command shown in the following example updates the number tables for a customer with a customer group ID of 1005:

mml> CHG-DPL::1005

Error Code:

None.

Comments:

This command is being phased out in release 7.4. Cisco recommends that the PROV-CPY command be used instead.

CHG-LOG---Change Log

Purpose:

This MML command is used to set or reset the logging level of an active process. Monitored and passive processes are not affected.

Format:

chg-log:<proc>:<log level>
chg-log:all:<log level>

Description:

  • all---Applies change to all known processes. See "Components, Processes, and Properties"for a list of processes and process groups.

  • log level---Sets the logging level for the specified process. Logging levels are as follows:

    • EMR---Emergency level messages (highest level).

    • CRT---Critical level messages.

    • ALR---System is unusable messages.

    • WRN---Warning condition messages.

    • ERR---Error condition messages.

    • TRC---Trace messages.

    • INF---Informational messages.

    • NOT---Notify level messages.

    • DBG---Debug-level messages (lowest level).

  • confirm---Use the confirm parameter when changing logging level to DBG.

  • proc---Process name. Applies change to a specific active process.

Example:

The MML command shown in the following example changes the logging level of the measurements manager process to ERR:

mml> CHG-LOG:MM-01:ERR
Virtual Switch Controller - VSC-01 2000-01-12 15:19:51 
M  COMPLD
   "MM-01"
   ;

Comments:

This command is being phased out in release 7.4. Cisco recommends that the SET-LOG command be used instead.

The process manager (PM-01) is not included in in the "all" parameter, as this is a special process. To change the logging level of PM-01, it must be used individually, for example, CHG-LOG:PM-01:DBG

The mappings from the pre-Release 7.4 log levels to Release 7.4 log levels re shown in Table 1-5.

CLR-ALM---Clear Alarm Component Category

Purpose:

This MML command clears an alarm category for a component.

Format:

clr-alm:<comp>:"<alm cat>"

Description:

  • comp---The component generating the alarm. Components are described in the "Components, Processes, and Properties.". Use the PROV-RTRV:all command described on page 1-22 to retrieve a list of system components.

  • alm cat---The alarm category, or the text that appears in the body of the alarm. For a description of alarm categories, refer to Cisco Media Gateway Controller Software Release 7 Operations, Maintenance, and Troubleshooting Guide, Appendix A.

Example:

The MML command shown in the following example clears the PC UNAVAIL alarm on the component stp3:

mml> CLR-ALM:stp3:"PC UNAVAIL"
Virtual Switch Controller - VSC-01 2000-01-12 15:19:51 
M  COMPLD
   ;

Comments:

The alarm category must match the format shown in the alarm when it is retrieved using the RTRV-ALMS command. It is case sensitive. See the "Alarm/Event Categories" section to check alarm category message syntax.

This alarm allows wildcarding.

CLR-MEAS---Reset a Measurement Category

Purpose:

This MML command resets a measurement category of a component.

Format:

clr-meas:<comp>:"<meas cat>"

mml> CLR-TCAP-TRANS::T=60
Virtual Switch Controller - VSC-01 2000-01-12 15:19:51 
M  RTRV
   "TCAP-01:CLRD=0"
   ;

DIAGLOG---Diagnostics Log

Purpose:

This MML command starts and stops event logging into a diagnostics log.

Format:

diaglog:<file name>:START|STOP

Description:

  • file name---The user-defined name of the log file. Do not use punctuation, such as the period character (.), to create a suffix. The default logging directory is $BASEDIR/var/log, where $BASEDIR is specified at installation.

Example:

PROV-EXP---Exports Provisioning Data

Purpose:

This MML command exports the current configuration of the VSC in MML-command form to a file or files. This allows for a system to be primed with a cloned configuration from an existing system or to be restored to a baseline configuration. The exported data can be imported using MML's batch feature. (Refer to Cisco Media Gateway Controller Software Release 7 Provisioning Guide for information concerning MML's batch feature)

Format:

prov-exp:<tid>:dirname=<export directory name>

Description:

  • tid--- Types of data. These can be:

    • config---Core configuration data (Signaling Paths, SS7 nodes), including trunks and trunkgroup definitions

    • routing---Routing plans

    • numan---Dial plans

  • export directory name---Name of the directory to which the data is exported. This directory is a sub-directory within the cust_specific directory established at installation.

Example:

The MML command shown in the this example saves the following files in the saved config directory:

  • config.mml

  • export_trunks.dat (optionally created if trunks are defined)

  • export_trkgrp.dat (optionally created if trunk groups are defined)

  • routing.mml

  • <custGrpID>.mml (any number of these depending on number of dialplans defined)

mml> prov-exp:all:dirname=saved_config
Virtual Switch Controller - VSC-01 2000-01-12 15:19:51
M COMPLD
 

To import all configuration data from the directory saved_config exported by this command, use the UNIX commands shown, in the following order, which executes MML in batch mode:

mml -b $BASEDIR/etc/cust_specific/saved_config/config.mml
mml -b $BASEDIR/etc/cust_specific/saved_config/routing.mml
mml -b $BASEDIR/etc/cust_specific/saved_config/<CustGrpID>.mml

  • rttrnkgrp---Displays information about route trunk groups.

  • rttrnk---Displays information about route trunks.

  • rttrnkgrp---Displays information about route lists.

  • variants---Displays a list of the signaling protocols this configuration supports. A provisioning session is not required.

  • comp---Use this command form when you want to display information about a single component. Enter the MML component type name for the type of component you are modifying. The entered parameter must match one of the component types listed in "Components, Processes, and Properties."

  • MML name---MML component name for the component you want to display.

Example:

The MML command shown in the following example displays information about the point code "opc":

PROV-STA---Start Provisioning Session

Purpose:

This MML command establishes a provisioning session. The data files are copied from the source version to the destination version. The data files are also locked to prevent other users from making changes.

If there is no active session, you can start a new session. If there is an active session, you can view the active configuration, but you are blocked from performing other actions.

Format:

prov-sta::srcver=<version>,dstver=<version>

Description:

  • srcver=version---Selects a specific configuration version as the source for configuration changes. The srcVersionNumber variable represents a directory stored in $BASEDIR/etc/CONFIG_LIB. In place of the configuration version, you can also enter:

    • new---Specifies a new default session configuration; no existing source configuration is used.

    • active---Selects the active configuration as the source for configuration changes.

  • dstver=version---Specifies the output version number and directory for the configuration session results. The destVersionNumber variable represents a directory stored in $BASEDIR/etc/CONFIG_LIB.


Note A version number is not required within the directory names listed above, but it does help you keep track of different configuration versions.

If the source and destination filenames are the same, the new configuration overwrites the new configuration. It is a good practice to copy an existing configuration instead of overwriting it. This gives you an easy way to return to a known configuration if there are problems with the new configuration. The new configuration should never be the destination session.

If the source configuration specified is new, the software does not allow you to overwrite an existing configuration.

Example:

The MML command shown in the following example starts a provisioning session and creates a new configuration named ver1:

mml> PROV-STA::SRCVER="new", DSTVER="ver1"
Virtual Switch Controller - VSC-01 2000-01-12 15:19:51 
M  COMPLD
   "PROV-STA"
   ;

The MML command shown in the following example starts a provisioning session, opens the existing configuration named ver1, and overwrites that configuration:

mml> PROV-STA::SRCVER="ver1", DSTVER="ver1"
 

The MML command shown in the following example starts a provisioning session, opens the existing configuration named ver1, and saves the updated configuration as ver2:

mml> PROV-STA::SRCVER="ver1", DSTVER="ver2"
 

Comments:

Refer to Cisco Media Gateway Controller Software Release 7 Provisioning Guide for a description of using the PROV commands for provisioning. Refer to "Components, Processes, and Properties," for a description of components, parameter names, parameter descriptions, and parameter values.

PROV-STP---Stop Provisioning Session

Purpose:

This MML command terminates either a specified or the current provisioning session, saves the configuration, and releases the lock on the configuration data files.


Note This command does not activate the new configuration. Use the PROV-CPY or PROV-DPLY commands to activate the configuration.

Format:

PROV-STP
PROV-STP:<SESSION NAME>:CONFIRM

Description:

  • session name--- Use the RTRV-MML command to display active MML sessions.

  • confirm---If no confirm option is entered, the command is rejected and you are notified via a message of the potential performance impact of this command.

Example:

The MML command hown in the following exampleterminates the current provisioning session.

mml> PROV-STP
Virtual Switch Controller - VSC-01 2000-01-12 15:19:51 
M  COMPLD
   "PROV-STP"
   ;

PROV-SYNC---Synchronize Provisioning Data

Purpose:

This MML command copies the active configuration from the active MGC to the standby MGC, ensuring that both media gateway controllers are using the same configuration.

Format:

PROV-SYNC

Example:

The MML command shown in the following example copies the configuration from the active MGC to the standby MGC:

mml> PROV-SYNC

QUERY-CIC---Execute Circuit Query

Purpose:

This MML command executes a circuit status query for a circuit or a circuit range.

Format:

query-cic:<point code>:CIC=<number>[,RNG=<slaves>][,RSLV]

Description:

  • point code--- MML component name of a point code created with PROV-ADD.

  • number---A valid circuit identification code (CIC).

  • slaves---A number such that number+slaves is a valid CIC. All circuits between number and number+slaves are queried.

  • RSLV---If this parameter is on, the system attempts to resolve differences between the MGC's CIC state and the switch's CIC state.

Example:

The MML command shown in the following example queries CICs 20-24 on the destination point code dpc2. In this example, CIC=24 is a case in which the local primary state and secondary state differ.

mml> QUERY-CIC:dpc2:CIC=20,RNG=4
Virtual Switch Controller - VSC-01 2000-01-12 15:19:51 
M  RTRV
   "dpc2:CIC=20;PST=IS;SST=IDLE"
   "dpc2:CIC=21;PST=IS;SST=IDLE"
   "dpc2:CIC=22;PST=IS;SST=IDLE"
   "dpc2:CIC=23;PST=IS;SST=IDLE"
   "dpc2:CIC=24;LPST=OOS;LSST=IDLE_LOC_BLOC,"
   "dpc2:RPST=IS;RSST=IDLE"
   ;

QUIT---End Session

Purpose:

This MML command ends the MML session.

Format:

QUIT

Example:

mml> QUIT
>
 

R---Repeat Previously Entered Command

Purpose:

This MML command repeats a previously entered command.

Format:

r[::<number>]

Description:

number---The command to repeat. For example, a value of 3 repeats the command issued before the last two commands. The default value is 1, which repeats the last command.

Example:

The MML command shown in the following example repeats the last command (this is the same as using the up arrow):

mml> R

The MML command shown in the following example repeats the third to the last command:

mml> R::3

RESET-CIC---Reset a Circuit or A Circuit Range

Purpose:

This MML command resets or activates a circuit or a range of circuits.

Format:

reset-cic:<point code>:CIC=<number>[,RNG=<slaves>]

Description:

  • point code---MML component name of a destination point code created with PROV-ADD.

  • number---A valid circuit identification code (CIC).

  • slaves---A number such that number+slave is a valid CIC. All circuits between number and number +slaves are reset.

Example:

The MML command shown in the following example resets CICs 1-24 on destination point code dpc2:

mml> RESET-CIC:dpc2:CIC=1,RNG=23
Virtual Switch Controller - VSC-01 2000-01-12 15:19:51 
M  COMPLD
   "dpc2"
   ;

RTRV-ADMIN-STATE---Retrieve Administrative State

Purpose:

This MML command provides the following summary report:

  • Inferred target state

    • If all circuits are locked, the inferred target admin-state is locked

    • If at least one circuit is unlocked, the inferred target admin-state is unlocked

    • If mixture of locked and shutdown, the inferred target admin-state is shutdown

  • Number of bearer channels that are in locking state.

  • Number of bearer channels that are in unlocked state.

  • Number of bearer channels that are in shutdown state.

Format:

rtrv-admin-state:<mgc>
rtrv-admin-state:<gway>
rtrv-admin-state:<trkGrp>
rtrv-admin-state:<sigPath>
rtrv-admin-state:<sigPath>:span=x
rtrv-admin-state:<sigPath>:span=x,BC=y[,RNG=z]
rtrv-admin-state:<sigPath>:CIC=x[,RNG=y]

Description:

Target parameters are as follows:

  • MGC---Corresponding MML name of media gateway controller.

  • GWAY---Corresponding MML name for media gateway. Not all media gateway types are applicable. Supported types are CU, MUX, MGW, and AVM external nodes.

  • trkGrp---trkGrp is applicable only for time-division multiplexing (TDM). Allow the corresponding MML name for component type "0020"

  • sigPath---Corresponding MML name for any of the following component types.

    • Signaling path of in-band TDM up to MUX and then time switched to TDM media and sent to MGC .

    • Signaling path of in-band TDM signaling up to CU and then encapsulated and sent over ip to the MGC.

    • Signaling path of in-band TDM signaling up to NAS and then converted to NI2 and sent to VSC over IP (that is, FE box<-sig/tdm->NAS<-NI2/ip-> VSC).

    • Signaling path or routeset associated with SS7 destination PC.

    • Signaling path for EISUP.

  • span : spanId is a 16-bit value that identifies an ISDN/PRI physical cable.

  • BC---A numeric value that identifies the non ISUP bearer channel number. BC is used for non-ISUP trunks; otherwise use CIC.

  • CIC---A numeric value which identifies the ISUP circuit identification code number.

  • RNG---The range of either bearer channel or circuit identification code.

Example:

The following example retrieves for dpc1 the primary state (PST=), the number of bearer channels in locked state (LOCK=), the number of bearer channels in unlocked state (UNLOCK=), and the number of bearer channels in shutdown state (SHUTDOWN=).

mml> rtrv-admin-state:dpc1

    • TRACE---Trace messages.

    • DEBUG---Debug-level messages (lowest level). A CONFIRM parameter is required for the DEBUG log level. Do not set this log level unless directed to by the TAC.

Logging at any given level implies upper levels are included. In other words, setting the INFO logging level also sets the WARN, ERR, and CRIT levels. The order of the levels shown above can also be viewed as a verbosity level, in that at CRIT, there is the least information logged while at DEBUG there is the most information logged.

Example:

The MML command shown in the following example retrieves the logging level of the DSKM-01 process:

mml> SET-LOG:PM-01:DEBUG
Virtual Switch Controller - VSC-01 2000-01-16 09:38:03

   "PM-01:DEBUG"
   ;

Comment:

This command command was introduced in Release 7.4 and replaces the CHG-LOG command.

The process manager (PM-01) is not included in in the "all" parameter, as this is a special process. To set the logging level of PM-01, it must be used individually, as in the example above.

Also, the DSKM-01 and LOG-01 (the disk monitor and log server processes, respectively) do not accept log-level change requests.

sta-aud-gw:<sig path MGCP>
sta-aud-gw:all

Description:

  • sig path MGCP---MGCP signaling path created with the PROV-ADD MGC command.

Example:

mml> STA-AUDIT-GW:T-1-16
Virtual Switch Controller - VSC-01 2000-01-12 15:19:51 
M COMPLD
;

STA-SC-TRC---Start Trace

Purpose:

This MML command starts a protocol conversion trace on a signal path or a point code.

Format:

sta-sc-trc:<sig path>:[log="filenameprefix"][,prd=n],confirm
sta-sc-trc:<sig path>:span=x[,rng=y][log="filenameprefix"]{prd=n]
sta-sc-trc:<sig path>:span=x[[.tc=y],rng=z][log="filenameprefix"]{prd=n]
sta-sc-trc:<trkgrp>:[log="filenameprefix"]{prd=n],confirm
sta-sc-trc:<trkgrp>:trk=x[,rng=y][log="filenameprefix"]{prd=n]

Description:

  • sig path---This is the logical signaling destination, such as SS7 point code, FAS path, IP FAS path, or DPNSS path. Refer to "Components, Processes, and Properties."

  • log=filenameprefix---The trace files are created and written to a file whose name can vary, depending on how the command is invoked. (A system log message is generated for each trace started. The filenames created as part of the STA-SC-TRC command are contained in the log messages.) If the log= parameter is used, then the value of this parameter is treated as a prefix in the filename. For example:

For STA-SC-TRC:<TRKGRP>:LOG="trace1" the filename would be: trace1_<trkgrp>_<sig path>_yyyymmddhhmmss.btr where yyyymmddhhmmss in the filename represents the time (GMT) at which the file is created. All trace files have an extension of ".btr" The trace files are output to the $BASEDIR/var/trace directory.
If no LOG parameter is used, default filenames are used for each sta-sc-trc command. For example:
For STA-SC-TRC:<TRKGRP>:CONFIRM the filename would be: <trkgrp>_<sig path>_yyyymmddhhmmss.btr
For STA-SC-TRC<SIG PATH>:CONFIRM the filename would be:
<sig path>_yyyymmddhhmmss.btr

  • prd=n---Trace period in seconds. At the expiration of this period, the system discontinues PDU collection on the signaling path and closes the log file. In the absence of this parameter being supplied, the default period is set to 1800 seconds (30 minutes), at which time the trace automatically will be stopped.

  • confirm---If no confirm option is entered, the command is rejected and you are notified via a message of the potential performance impact of this command. This is required for a sig path level trace or a trkgrp level trace due to the potential performance impact of tacing at these levels.

  • span---The span ID. This is an integer value denoting the traffic channel for the sig path (NFAS only).

  • rng---Range. When used with "span=x" rng=y is an optional range of spans beginning with x and continuing for y spans. When used with "tc=y" rng=z is an optional range of traffic channels beginning with y and continuing for z traffic channels. When used with "trk=x" rng=y is an optional range of contiguous trunks to trace starting with trunk x and ending with trunk y.

  • tc---The traffic channel of interest in integer form.

  • trkgrp---Logical trunk group of interest. Refer to "Components, Processes, and Properties," for more information.

  • trk---Trunk number. This is either a trunk number within the trunk group of interest or the starting trunk of a range.

On successful completion, all PDU (protocol data unit) traffic on the path is captured to a log file. This MML command succeeds regardless of the service state of the path.

Example:

The MML command shown in the following example starts a capture session for all PDUs going through the signaling path identified as T-1-16 and stores the trace log in the $BASEDIR/var/trace/T-1-16_yyyymmddyyhhmmss.log file:

mml> STA-SC-TRC:T-1-16

The MML command shown in the following example starts a capture session for the signaling path identified as T-2-18. It runs for 600 seconds (10 min.) and stores the output in /var/trace/test_yyyymmddyyhhmmss.trc:

mml> STA-SC-TRC:T-2-18:log=test.trc,prd=600

Error Code:

  • COMPLD---Path has started tracing.

  • SNVS---Error opening the file; trace cannot be performed because the path is already being traced.

STA-SOFTW---Start a Process or a Process Group

   "ALL"
   /* Status, Waiting for Dependent Processes to Stop
     This is not an error, run rtrv-softw to see when
     all desired processes have stopped */
   ;

Comments:

In a dual MGC configuration, the STP-SOFTW:all command does not shut down both controllers because the failover daemon immediately restarts procM. To shut down the active MGC in a dual configuration, follow the procedures described in Cisco Media Gateway Controller Release 7 Provisioning Guide. Similarly, STP-SW:PM-01 does not stop the process manager. Use the command RTRV-SOFTW:ALL to show all component names available as targets for this command.
