Enabling and Disabling Sequence Numbers in Log Messages
Because there is a chance that more than one log message can have the same time stamp, you can display
messages with sequence numbers so that you can unambiguously see a single message. By default,
sequence numbers in log messages are not displayed.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to enable sequence numbers in log messages.
This procedure is optional.
To disable sequence numbers, use the
no service sequence-numbers
global configuration command.
This example shows part of a logging display with sequence numbers enabled:
000019: %SYS-5-CONFIG_I: Configured from console by vty2 (10.34.195.36)
Defining the Message Severity Level
You can limit messages displayed to the selected device by specifying the severity level of the message,
which are described in
Table 32-3
.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to define the message severity level. This
procedure is optional.
