			Log File Information
Table C-6 CSS Log File Descriptions (continued)
	Log File Destination
	Default	Alternate
Log File	Location	Location	Records
Sys.log.prev	Hard disk or	Console	Backup of a system log file. When a
	flash disk	syslogd	system log file reaches its maximum
		VTY1	size (50 MB, for a hard disk-based
		VTY2	CSS; 10 MB, for a flash disk-based
			CSS), the software renames the
			system log file to sys.log.prev and
			starts a new system log file. The CSS
			overwrites an existing backup system
			log file when a system log file is
			renamed. When you reboot a CSS, the
			software continues to use the existing
			system log file until it reaches its
			maximum size.

By default, the CSS has boot logging and system logging enabled and writes the logged information to the log files on the hard disk or flash disk, depending on the type of storage in your CSS. Log file information is recorded as ASCII text.

Note If the CSS disk fails, log and archive information cannot be saved to files on the disk.

•Configuring logging functions and log messages, refer to the Cisco Content Services Switch Administration Guide
