"debug all ...

.. on a core router."

What would that do? Log every action taken for every packet through the router? That sounds like a bad time for all concerned.

It would attempt to display debug information on everything. In most cases it will peg the cpu and the router will become unresponsive and only recoverable by powercycling it which is not what you want at an ISP.

The only use for debug all without further specification what you want to debug (say an interface for example) is when you've been debugging various things and want to turn all debugging off with no debug all.
