If you enable the log display on a terminal connected to the console port, your settings
will remain in effect even after your console session is ended (unless you explicitly
disable the log display).
When using a Telnet connection, if your Telnet session is disconnected (because of the
inactivity timer, or for other reasons), the log display is automatically halted. You must
restart the log display by using the
enable log display
command.
