System Logging
The system allows you to enable or disable event logging,
and specify which event levels are logged to RAM or flash
memory . Severe error messages that are logged to flash
memory are permanently stored in the Switch to assist in
troubleshooting network problems .
System Log Status
Enables/disables the logging of
debug or error messages to the logging process .
Flash Loggng
Limits log messages saved to the Switch’s
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
Limits log messages saved to the
Switch’s temporary memory for all levels up to the specified
level . For example, if level 6 is specified, all messages from
level 0 to level 6 will be logged to RAM .
Vew Flash Loggng

Syslog
Allows you to configure the logging of messages that
are sent to remote Syslog servers . You can limit the event
messages sent to only those messages at or above a
specified level .
Remote Log Status
Enables/disables the logging of
debug or error messages to the remote logging process .
(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)
