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.

Enabling and Disabling Time Stamps on Log Messages

By default, log messages are not time-stamped.

Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to enable time-stamping of log messages. This

procedure is optional.

To disable time stamps for both debug and log messages, use the no service timestamps global

configuration command.

This example shows part of a logging display with the service timestamps log datetime global

configuration command enabled:

*Mar 1 18:46:11: %SYS-5-CONFIG_I: Configured from console by vty2 (10.34.195.36)

Step 3 logging synchronous [level [severity-level |

all] | limit number-of-buffers]Enable synchronous logging of messages.

• (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.

Command Purpose

Step 1 configure terminal Enter global configuration mode.

Step 2 service timestamps log uptime

service timestamps log datetime [msec] [localtime]

[show-timezone]

Enable log time stamps.

The first command enables time stamps on log messages,

showing the time since the system was rebooted.

The second command enables time stamps on log messages.

Depending on the options selected, the time stamp can

include the date, time in milliseconds relative to the local

time-zone, and the time zone name.

Step 3 end Return to privileged EXEC mode.

Step 4 show running-config Verify your entries.

Step 5 copy running-config startup-config (Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.
