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. Use the Memory Log page to set the administrative status and
behavior of logs in the system buffer. These log messages are cleared when the switch
reboots.
For the message log, only the latest 200 entries are displayed on the page.
To configure the memory log settings:
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.
