• Current boot log—All events between “start of boot” and “boot complete”
• Previous boot log—The events from the previous boot
Reading the system event log turns off the attention LED. Accessing this log is the only way to turn off the attention LED
when it is flashing and alerts have not been acknowledged at the alert display level.
Events are encoded data that provide system information to the user. Some well-known names for similar data would be
Chassis Codes or Post Codes. Events are produced by intelligent hardware modules, the OS, and system firmware. Use VFP to
view the live events. Use SL to view the event log.
Navigate within the logs as follows:
• + — View the next block (forward in time)
• - — View the previous block (backward in time)
• Enter (<CR>) — View the next block in the previously selected direction (forward or backward in time)
• D — Dump the entire log for capture or analysis
•F — First entry
•L — Last entry
• J — Jump to entry number __
• V — View mode configuration (text, keyword, hex)
• ? — Display this help menu
•Q — Quit
Table 5-4 defines alert (or severity) levels.
Security Options
SO: Configure security options and access control (users, passwords, and so on)
This command modifies the security parameters of the MP, which include login timeouts and allowed password faults.
If configured, when you access the MP via the modem port, the MP hangs up and dials the user back. This does not work if
Modem Presence is set to not always connected with the CA command.
If the mode is single, the state is changed to disabled after the first login.
A disabled user’s login is not accepted.
