Chapter 32 Configuring System Message Logging

Configuring System Message Logging

Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to configure synchronous logging. This procedure is optional.

 

Command

Purpose

Step 1

 

 

configure terminal

Enter global configuration mode.

Step 2

 

 

line [console vty] line-number

Specify the line to be configured for synchronous logging of

 

[ending-line-number]

messages.

 

 

Use the console keyword for configurations that occur through

 

 

the switch console port or the Ethernet management port.

 

 

Use the line vty line-numbercommand to specify which vty

 

 

lines are to have synchronous logging enabled. You use a vty

 

 

connection for configurations that occur through a Telnet

 

 

session. The range of line numbers is from 0 to 15.

 

 

You can change the setting of all 16 vty lines at once by entering:

 

 

line vty 0 15

 

 

Or you can change the setting of the single vty line being used for

 

 

your current connection. For example, to change the setting for vty

 

 

line 2, enter:

 

 

line vty 2

 

 

When you enter this command, the mode changes to line

 

 

configuration.

Step 3

 

 

logging synchronous [level [severity-level

Enable synchronous logging of messages.

 

all] limit number-of-buffers]

(Optional) For level severity-level, specify the message severity

 

 

 

 

level. Messages with a severity level equal to or higher than this

 

 

value are printed asynchronously. Low numbers mean greater

 

 

severity and high numbers mean lesser severity. The default is 2.

 

 

(Optional) Specifying level all means that all messages are

 

 

printed asynchronously regardless of the severity level.

 

 

(Optional) For limit number-of-buffers, specify the number of

 

 

buffers to be queued for the terminal after which new messages

 

 

are dropped. The range is 0 to 2147483647. The default is 20.

Step 4

 

 

end

Return to privileged EXEC mode.

Step 5

 

 

show running-config

Verify your entries.

Step 6

 

 

copy running-config startup-config

(Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.

 

 

 

To disable synchronization of unsolicited messages and debug output, use the no logging synchronous [level severity-level all] [limit number-of-buffers] line configuration command.
