Configuring Switch Logging

Switch logging is a feature that allows you to activate and configure the logging of various
types of switch information. Once you activate logging for a specific facility through the
switch logging command, you may also decide whether the log output should display on the
console, be saved to a file, or be both displayed and saved to a file. To enter the switch
logging submenu, enter
swlogc
at the system prompt. A screen similar to the following displays:

The logging types are described here:
1) Security Logging
Enabling security logging allows you to view all security violations that occur within the
switch. Set to enable to activate logging for any security violations that occur within the
switch. Set to disable to de-activate logging for security violations.
♦ Note ♦
Security Logging must be enabled in order to display
the Secure Switch Access violations log (seclog).
2) FTP Logging
FTP Session Events is a record of all FTP (File Transfer Protocol) activities since logging was
activated. Once you enable FTP Logging by entering 2=enable, you may view it through the
conlog command (described in Displaying the Connection Entries in the MPM Log on page 10-
10). To disable FTP Session Events logging, enter 2=disable.
