Field
Description
Buffered Log Configuration
Admin Mode

overwrite the oldest messages (Wrap) or stop writing new messages to the
buffer (Stop on Full).
Command Logger Configuration

Enables or disables logging of the command-line interface (CLI) commands
issued on the device.
Console Log Configuration
Admin Mode
Enables or disables logging to any serial device attached to the host.

Select the severity of the messages to be logged. All messages at and above the
selected threshold are logged to the console. The severity can be one of the
following:
•
emergency (0): The device is unusable.
•
alert (1): Action must be taken immediately.
•
critical (2): The device is experiencing primary system failures.
•

errors if no action is taken.
