Using the Event Log for troubleshooting switch problems
The Event Log records operating events in single- or double-line entries and serves as a tool to isolate and
troubleshoot problems.
Once the log has received 2000 entries, it discards the oldest message each time a new message is received.
The Event Log window contains 14 log entry lines. You can scroll through it to view any part of the log.
