Configuring OBFL
We recommend that you do not disable OBFL and that you do not remove the data stored in the flash memory.
Caution
•
• To enable OBFL, use the
hw-switch switch
[
switch-number
]
logging onboard
[
message level level
]
global configuration command. On switches, the range for
switch-number
is from 1 to 9. Use the
message
level level
parameter to specify the severity of the hardware-related messages that the switch generates
and stores in the flash memory.
The following applies to the C9500-12Q, C9500-16X, C9500-24Q, C9500-40X models of the Cisco
Catalyst 9500 Series Switches. To enable OBFL, use the
hw-switch switch
[
module-number
]
logging
onboard
{
application-name
} global configuration command.
• To copy the OBFL data to the local network or a specific file system, use the
copy onboard switch
switch-number url url-destination
privileged EXEC command.
This does not apply to the C9500-12Q, C9500-16X, C9500-24Q, C9500-40X
