Logging

The Px series application switch supports two logging facilities, a local log and the UNIX syslog facility for remote logging.

The application switch log tracks all configuration and fault information pertaining to the device. The switch maintains 1,000 messages in its internal log. To enable the log, use the command:

enable log

To view the log, use the command:

show log <level>

The <level> argument is optional. By default, all messages are shown. The values for <level> are:

a

errors

displays error messages

b

fatal

displays fatal messages

c

info

displays informational messages

d

warning

displays warning messages

 

 

 

To change the level of messages that are logged, use the command:

config log display <level>

The <level> argument is optional. By default, the level is set to b, fatal messages.

To clear the log, use the command:

clear log

In addition to maintaining the internal log, the switch supports remote logging by way of the UNIX syslog host facility. To enable remote logging, do the following:

1Configure the syslog host to accept and log messages.

2Enable remote logging using the following command: enable syslog

3Configure remote logging using the following command: config syslog ipaddress <ipaddress>
