Debug command stops after exiting

[michael.heer]

Hi,

We are experiencing intermittent issues with the IPS on our ASA5585 vs 8.4(2). Probably something with the dataplane. So I want to keep debug cplane 255 activated and logged with log debug-trace setting to syslog server.

But when session times out the debug command is cleared so the output stops. Since it is a intermittent issue I want to keep debug activated...Totally different behaviour then with routers which keeps it activated.

Somebody an idea how to keep debug activated on a ASA.

Regards,

Mike
