You can use the diagnose debug flow commands to do a policy simulation. An example of the output:

fw01 (root) # diagnose debug enable

fw01 (root) # diagnose debug flow show console enable
show trace messages on console

fw01 (root) # diagnose debug flow filter addr 10.10.1.25

fw01 (root) # diagnose debug flow trace start 5

You can stop the trace with the following commands:

fw01 (root) # diagnose debug flow trace stop

fw01 (root) # diagnose debug flow show console disable
do not show trace messages on console

fw01 (root) # diagnose debug disable
