Overview of RASLog messages

RASLog message types
Network OS supports five types of RASLog messages. The following sections describe in detail the
message types.
System messages
System or LOG messages report significant system-level events or information and are also used to
show the status of the high-level user-initiated actions. System messages are stored in a separate
nonvolatile storage and are preserved across the firmware upgrade or downgrade. The system
messages are forwarded to the console, to the configured syslog servers, and through the SNMP
traps or informs to the SNMP management station.
The following is an example of a system message.
2011/08/23-22:58:12, [EM-1036], 4,, WARNING, VDX6720-24, Fan 1 is not accessible.
For information on displaying and clearing the system messages, refer to “Viewing and clearing the
SYSTEM messages” on page 15.
DCE RASLog messages
DCE RASLog messages report error-related events and information in the protocol-based modules
such as network service module (NSM), system services manager (SSM), and so on. DCE
messages are stored in a separate nonvolatile storage and are preserved across the firmware
upgrades. The DCE messages are forwarded to the console, to the configured syslog servers, and
through the SNMP traps or informs to the SNMP management station.
NOTE
DCE messages are supported only in Network OS v3.0.0 and later. If you downgrade to an earlier
firmware version, the DCE messages will be dropped.
The following is an example of a DCE message.
2012/05/30-21:25:55, [ONMD-1002], 59, M1 | DCE, INFO, sw0, LLDP global
configuration is changed.
For information on displaying and clearing the DCE RASLog messages, refer to “Viewing and
clearing the DCE messages” on page 15.
VCS RASLog messages
VCS RASLog messages are supported in VCS fabrics only. The VCS RASLog messages are used to
indicate events such as node removal and node join from the Brocade VCS fabric. When a switch
generates a VCS RASLog message, it is forwarded to the system console, remote syslog, and SNMP
management station.
The following is an example of a VCS RASLog message.
2011/08/26-12:40:01, [VCS-1003], 7013/3454, VCS, INFO, VDX6720-60, Event: VCS
