Configure and View Logs
The switch generates messages in response to events, faults, or errors occurring on the 
platform as well as changes in configuration or other occurrences. These messages are 
stored locally and can be forwarded to one or more centralized points of collection for 
monitoring purposes or long-term archival storage. Local and remote configuration of the 
logging capability includes filtering of messages logged or forwarded based on severity and 
generating component.
Manage the Memory Logs
The memory log stores messages in memory based upon the settings for message 
component and severity. You can set the administrative status and behavior of logs in the 
system buffer. These log messages are cleared when the switch reboots.
To configure the memory log settings and view or clear the memory log:
1.  Connect your computer to the same network as the switch.
You can use a WiFi or wired connection to connect your computer to the network, or 
connect directly to a switch that is off-network using an Ethernet cable.
2.  Launch a web browser.
