hw-module
Use the hw-module global configuration command on the switch stack or on a standalone switch to
enable on-board failure logging (OBFL). Use the no form of this command to disable this feature.
hw-module module [switch-number] logging onboard [message level level]

Command Modes Global configuration
Command History
Usage Guidelines We recommend that you keep OBFL enabled and do not erase the data stored in the flash memory.
To ensure that the time stamps in the OBFL data logs are accurate, you should manually set the system
clock, or configure it by using Network Time Protocol (NTP).
If you do not enter the message level level parameter, all the hardware-related messages generated by
the switch are stored in the flash memory.
On a standalone switch, entering the hw-module module [switch-number] logging onboard [message
level level] command is the same as entering the hw-module module logging onboard [message level
level] command.
Entering the hw-module module logging onboard [message level level] on a stack master enables
OBFL on all the stack members that support OBFL.
Examples This example shows how to enable OBFL on a switch stack and to specify that all the hardware-related
messages on stack member 4 are stored in the flash memory when this command is entered on the stack
master:
Switch(config)# hw-module module 4 logging onboard
switch-number (Optional) Specify the switch number, which is the stack member number. If the
switch is a standalone switch, the switch number is 1. If the switch is in a stack, the
range is 1 to 9, depending on the switch member numbers in the stack.
message level
level
(Optional) Specify the severity of the hardware-related messages that are stored in
the flash memory. The range is from 1 to 7.
