Setting the RASLog console severity level
You can limit the types of messages that are logged to the console using the logging raslog console
command. The RASLog messages displayed on the console are passed up to and above the
configured severity level. For example, if you configure the console severity level to ERROR, then
only ERROR and CRITICAL messages pass through. You can choose one of the following severity
levels: INFO, WARNING, ERROR, or CRITICAL.The default severity level is INFO.
To set the severity levels for the RASLog console, perform the following steps.
1. Execute the configure terminal command to access the global configuration level of the CLI.
switch# configure terminal
Entering configuration mode terminal
2. Execute the logging rbridge-id rbridge-id raslog console severity level command to set the
RASLog console severity level.
The severity level can be one of the following: INFO, WARNING, ERROR, or CRITICAL. The
severity level values are case-sensitive. For example, to set the console severity level to ERROR
on switch 1, enter the following command.
switch(config)# logging rbridge-id 1 raslog console ERROR
3. Execute the copy running-config startup-config command to save the configuration changes.
You can reset the console severity level to the default (INFO) using the no logging rbridge-id
rbridge-id raslog console command.
SNMP management station
When an unusual event, error, or a status change occurs on the device, an event notification is sent
to the SNMP management station. Network OS v4.1.1 supports two types of event notifications:
traps (in SNMPv1, SNMPv2c, and SNMPv3) and informs (in SNMPv3).
SNMP traps
An unsolicited message that comes to the management station from the SNMP agent on the
device is called a trap. When an event occurs and if the event severity level is at or below the set
severity level, the SNMP trap, swEventTrap, is sent to the configured trap recipients. The VarBind in
the Trap Data Unit contains the corresponding instance of the event index, time information, event
severity level, the repeat count, and description. The possible severity levels are as follows:
• Critical
• Debug
• Error
• Info
• None
• Warning
By default, the severity level is set to None, implying all traps are filtered and therefore no event
traps are received. When the severity level is set to Info, all traps with the severity level of Info,
Warning, Error, and Critical are received.
