Configuring and Managing the System Log 623

Configuring and	System logs provide information about system events that you can use to
Managing the	monitor and troubleshoot MSS. Event messages for the WX switch and its
System Log	attached MAPs can be stored or sent to the following destinations:
	„ Stored in a local buffer on the WX
	„ Displayed on the WX console port
	„ Displayed in an active Telnet session
	„ Sent to one or more syslog servers, as specified in RFC 3164

	reboots.
