Using the Event Subsystem
There are two switch system activity logs:
■
Event Log - stores a large table of events. The size of the
table is user-settable. Because these events are stored in
switch memory, the list is cleared each time the switch
reboots.
■
Shutdown Log - stores the same information as the Event
Log, but generally in a smaller table because the table is
stored in the switch’s nonvolatile RAM (NVRAM). This log
list is particularly useful in assessing the cause of a switch
failure, because the information is retained even after the
switch restarts.
* Note: The following events are now logged in the event log:
— Toggling between the primary and redundant switch
controller or switch element.
— Full functioning of the redundant supervisor after a
failure of the primary supervisor.
