A – Command Line Interface Set Log Command
Q
Set Log Command
Specifies the type of entries to be entered in the event log. The log consists of six files contained on the switch: logfile, and logfile.1 – logfile.5. Each file can hold a maximum of 200 entries. The switch begins writing entries to logfile. When logfile is full, its contents are moved into logfile.1, and logging continues in logfile. When logfile.1 is full, its contents are moved into logfile.2, and so on. When logfile.5 becomes full, its contents are discarded. Log entries are created for ports, components, and event severity levels.

Concatenates the individual event log files (logfile, logfile.1, logfile.2, logfile.3, logfile.3, logfile.4, logfile.5) and stores the result in new file named logfile that is maintained in another part of switch memory where it can be downloaded from the switch using FTP.
