System Message Logging

</h1>
<a name="wp1286336"> </a><p class="pBody">
The system message logging software saves the messages in a log file or directs the messages to other 
devices. This feature has the following capabilities: 

</p>
<div class="pSmartList1"><ul class="pSmartList1">
<a name="wp1286337"> </a><li class="pSmartList1">Provides logging information for monitoring and troubleshooting. 
</li>
<a name="wp1286338"> </a><li class="pSmartList1">Allows the user to select the types of captured logging information. 
</li>
<a name="wp1286339"> </a><li class="pSmartList1">Allows the user to select the destination server to forward the captured logging information. 
</li>
</ul></div>
<a name="wp1286340"> </a><p class="pBody">
By default, the switch logs normal but significant system messages to a log file and sends these messages 
to the system console. You can specify which system messages should be saved based on the type of 
facility and the severity level. Messages are time-stamped to enhance real-time debugging and 
management.

</p>
<a name="wp1298351"> </a><p class="pBody">
You can access the logged system messages using the CLI or by saving them to a correctly configured 
system message logging server. The switch software saves system messages in a file that can save up to 
1200 entries. You can monitor system messages remotely by accessing the switch through Telnet, SSH, 
the console port, or by viewing the logs on a system message logging server.
