Configuring and
Managing the
System Log System logs provide information about system events that you can use to
monitor and troubleshoot MSS. Event messages for the WX switch and its
attached MAPs can be stored or sent to the following destinations:
„
Stored in a local buffer on the WX
„
Displayed on the WX console port
„
Displayed in an active Telnet session
„
Sent to one or more syslog servers, as specified in RFC 3164
The system log is a file in which the newest record replaces the oldest.
These entries are preserved in nonvolatile memory through system
reboots.

You can enable or disable logging to each destination and filter the
messages by the severity of the logged event or condition. (For details,
