Debug IP Packet Detail Command on CISCO Router/Switch

Command

Debug IP Packet Detail

Use

This command enables detailed IP packet debugging messages. The debugging shows detailed IP information being processed by the route. , Also, you can use an access-list to limit the debug output.

Syntax

Router#debug ip packet detail
OR
Router#debug ip packet detail <access-list>

Example

Debug IP Packet Detail Command on CISCO Router/Switch 1

In the below example we enable detailed IP packet debugging on R2.

R2(config)#do debug ip packet detail
IP packet debugging is on (detailed)
