Configuring System Message Logging on the Switch
Displaying System Messages
Use the show logging buffer command to display the messages in the switch logging buffer. If you do
not specify number_of_messages, the default is to display the last 20 messages in the buffer.
To display the messages in the switch logging buffer, perform one of these tasks:
This example shows how to display the first five messages in the buffer:
Console> (enable) show logging buffer 5
