If you enable the log display on a terminal connected to the console
port, your settings will remain in effect even after your console
session is ended (unless you explicitly disable the log display).
When using a Telnet connection, if your Telnet session is
disconnected (because of the inactivity timer, or for other reasons),
the log display is automatically halted. You must restart the log
display by using the
enable log display command.
Remote Logging
In addition to maintaining an internal log, the switch supports
remote logging by way of the UNIX syslog host facility. To enable
remote logging, do the following:
❑ Configure the syslog host to accept and log messages.
❑ Enable remote logging by using the following command:
enable syslog
❑ Configure remote logging by using the following command:
config syslog
{}
Specify the following:
❑
ipaddress — The IP address of the syslog host.
❑ facility — The syslog facility level for local use. Options
include local0 through local7 .
❑
priority — Filters the log to display message with the
selected priority or higher (more critical). Priorities include (in
order) critical, emergency, alert, error, warning, notice, info,
and debug. If not specified, only critical priority messages are
sent to the syslog host.
Note
Refer to your UNIX documentation for more information about the
syslog host facility.
