Logs
The switch might generate messages in response to faults, or errors occurring on the
platform as well as changes in configuration or other occurrences. These messages are
stored locally and can be forwarded to one or more centralized points of collection for
monitoring purposes or long-term archival storage. Local and remote configuration of the
logging capability includes filtering of messages logged or forwarded based on severity and
generating component.
The Logs tab contains menus that provide access to the following features
•Buffered Logs
•Server Log
•Trap Logs

Buffered Logs

The buffered log stores messages in memory based on the settings for message component
and severity. Use the Buffered Logs screen to set the administrative status and behavior of
logs in the system buffer. These log messages are cleared when the switch reboots.
