System Log Configuration
The System Log Configuration folder contains two windows: System Log Settings and System Log Host.

Use the pull-down menu to choose the method for saving the switch log to the flash memory. The user has three options:
• Time Interval – Users who choose this method can configure a time interval by which the Switch will save the log files,
in the box adjacent to this configuration field. The user may set a time between 1 and 65535 minutes.
• On Demand – Users who choose this method will only save log files when they manually tell the Switch to do so, either
using the Save Log link in the Save folder or clicking the Save Log Now button on this window.
• Log Trigger – Users who choose this method will have log files saved to the Switch every time a log event occurs on the
Switch.
The default setting is On Demand. Click Apply to save changes made. Click Save Log Now to immediately save log files
currently on the switch.
