memory are permanently stored in the Switch to assist in
troubleshooting network problems .

debug or error messages to the logging process .

permanent flash memory for all levels up to the specified
level . For example, if level 3 is specified, all messages from
level 0 to level 3 will be logged to flash .

NOTE:

The Flash Level must be equal to or less

than the RAM Level .

Memory Loggng

(Default: Dsabled)

Loggng Faclty

Sets the facility type for remote logging

of Syslog messages . There are eight facility types specified
by values of 16 to 23 . The facility type is used by the Syslog
server to dispatch log messages to an appropriate service .
The attribute specifies the facility type tag sent in Syslog
messages . (See RFC 3164 .) This type has no effect on the
kind of messages reported by the Switch . However, it
may be used by the Syslog server to process messages,
such as sorting or storing messages in the corresponding
database . (Range: 16-23, Default: 2)
