doubt is high than debugging. The rule applied in filtering the log information by severity level is that: only the
log information with level equal to or higher than the threshold will be outputted. So when the severity
threshold is set to debugging, all information will be outputted and if set to critical, only critical, alerts and
emergencies will be outputted.
The following table summarizes the log information severity level and brief description. Note: these severity
levels are in accordance with the standard UNIX/LINUX syslog.
Table 66-1 Severity of the log ٛ information
Severity Value Description
emergencies 0 System is unusable
alerts 1 Action must be taken immediately
critical 2 Critical conditions
errors 3 Error conditions
warnings 4 Warning conditions
notifications 5 Normal but significant condition
informational 6 Informational messages
debugging 7 Debug-level messages
Right now the switch can generate information of the following four levels
 Restart the switch, mission abnormal are classified critical
 Up/down interface, topology change, aggregate port state change of the interface are notifications
warnings
 Outputted information from the CLI command is classified informational
 Information from the debugging of CLI command is classified debugging
Log information can be automatically sent to corresponding channels with regard to respective severity levels.
Amongst the debugging information can only be sent to the monitor. Those with the Informational level can
only be sent to current monitor terminal, such as the information from the Telnet terminal configuration
command can only be transmitted to the Telnet terminal. Warnings information can be sent to all terminal with
also saved in the SDRAM log buffer zone. And the critical information can be save both in SDRAM and the
NVRAM (if exists) besides sent to all terminals. To check the log save in SDRAM and the NVRAM, we can use
the show logging buffered command. To clear the log save in NVRAM and SDRAM log buffer zone, we can
use the clear logging command.
