Using the Event Log To Find Intrusion Alerts

The Event Log lists port security intrusions as:

W MM/DD/YY HH:MM:SS FFI: port A3 — Security Violation

where “W” is the severity level of the log entry and FFI is the system module that generated the entry. For further information, display the Intrusion Log, as shown below.

From the CLI. Type the log command from the Manager or Configuration level.

Syntax: log < search-text >

For < search-text>, you can use ffi, security, or violation. For example:

Log Listing with Security Violation Detected

Log Command with “security” for Search String

Log Listing with No

Security Violation

Detected
