The debug comand is for processes, an IP address is not a process, so &quot;debug &lt;ip address&gt;&quot; will not work.<br />
<br />
ASA firewalls have a packet capture capability (like tcpdump) which can be configured to only capture specific packets, but I would guesss from your question that you are more interested in what the ASA does (allow/deny etc) to packets that involve a specific host. <br />
<br />
if you were instead interested in what the ASA does to traffic that involves a specific adddress, you could set the log output to debug, and then filtered the log on the IP address of interest.

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I need to debug/monitor traffic from a specific IP on a Cisco ASA 5515.<br />
<br />
I want the terminal to display information about traffic from a certain IP address in the terminal monitor of my ASA<br />
<br />
I assume it something like debug ip 192.168.4.4<br />
<br />
Is this possible?
