Note that the above CLI command enables SNMP to display virtual interface statistics. It does not
enable the CLI to display the statistics.

Disabling Syslog messages and traps for CLI access

Brocade devices send Syslog messages and SNMP traps when a user logs into or out of the User
EXEC or Privileged EXEC level of the CLI. The feature applies to users whose access is authenticated
by an authentication-method list based on a local user account, RADIUS server, or TACACS/TACACS+
server.

NOTE
The Privileged EXEC level is sometimes called the "Enable" level, because the command for accessing
this level is enable .

The feature is enabled by default.

Examples of Syslog messages for CLI access

When a user whose access is authenticated by a local user account, a RADIUS server, or a TACACS
or TACACS+ server logs into or out of the CLI User EXEC or Privileged EXEC mode, the software
generates a Syslog message and trap containing the following information:

• The time stamp
• The user name
• Whether the user logged in or out
• The CLI level the user logged into or out of (User EXEC or Privileged EXEC level)

NOTE
Messages for accessing the User EXEC level apply only to access through Telnet. The device does not
authenticate initial access through serial connections but does authenticate serial access to the
Privileged EXEC level. Messages for accessing the Privileged EXEC level apply to access through the
serial connection or Telnet.

The following examples show login and logout messages for the User EXEC and Privileged EXEC
levels of the CLI.

device# show logging

Syslog logging: enabled (0 messages dropped, 0 flushes, 0 overruns)

Buffer logging: level ACDMEINW, 12 messages logged

level code: A=alert C=critical D=debugging M=emergency E=error

I=informational N=notification W=warning

Static Log Buffer:

Dec 15 19:04:14:A:Fan 1, fan on right connector, failed

Dynamic Log Buffer (50 entries):

Oct 15 18:01:11:info:dg logout from USER EXEC mode

Oct 15 17:59:22:info:dg logout from PRIVILEGE EXEC mode

Oct 15 17:38:07:info:dg login to PRIVILEGE EXEC mode

Oct 15 17:38:03:info:dg login to USER EXEC mode

Syntax: show logging

The first message (the one on the bottom) indicates that user "dg" logged in to the CLI User EXEC level
on October 15 at 5:38 PM and 3 seconds (Oct 15 17:38:03). The same user logged into the Privileged
EXEC level four seconds later.
