Set Log Command
Specifies the type of entries to be entered in the event log. The log consists of six
files contained on the switch:
logfile
, and
logfile.1
–
logfile.5
. Each file can hold a
maximum of 200 entries. The switch begins writing entries to
logfile
. When
logfile
is full, its contents are moved into
logfile.1
, and logging continues in
logfile
. When
logfile.1
is full, its contents are moved into
logfile.2
, and so on. When
logfile.5
becomes full, its contents are discarded. Log entries are created for ports,
components, and event severity levels.
