Tracking Switch Changes

The Track Change feature allows you to keep a record of specific changes that
may not be considered switch events, but may be useful. The output from the track
changes feature is dumped to the error log for the switch. Use the

errdump

command or

errshow

command to view the error log.

Items in the error log created from the Track changes feature are labeled

TRACK

.

Trackable changes are:

— Successful login

— Unsuccessful login

— Logout

— Config file change from task

— Track-changes on

— Track-changes off

An SNMP-TRAP mode can also be enabled. Refer to the
