Logging System Information to a TFTP or rcp Server
Specifying How Often System Information Logging Occurs
You can specify the amount of time that elapses between the occurrences of system information logging.
Specify the amount of time in minutes; the valid values are between 1–35000 minutes (25 days). By
default, the amount of time between the logging occurrences is 1440 minutes (1 day).
To specify the amount of time and verify the time interval, perform this task in privileged mode:
This example shows how to specify the amount of time and verify the time interval:
Console> (enable)
set system info-log interval 4320
Successfully set system information logging interval to 4320 minutes.
Console> (enable)
show system info-log

for the file, the default directory for TFTP is tftpboot, and the default directory for rcp is the user’s home
directory.
To specify the filename and the server for system information logging, perform this task in privileged
mode:
