Usage Guidelines
Switch configuration and fault information is filtered and saved to target logs, in a memory buffer, and
in NVRAM. Each entry in the log contains the following information:
• Timestamp—records the month and day of the event, along with the time (hours, minutes, seconds,
and hundredths).
• Severity Level—indicates the urgency of a condition reported in the log. Table 15 describes the
severity levels assigned to events.
