recorded by component, specific ports, and severity level. You can choose from
the following component events:
E_Port events
Management server events
Name server events
Port events
Switch management events
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) events
Zoning events
Refer to the Command Line Interface Guide for your switch for more information
about the Set Log command.

Archiving and Downloading the Event Log
You can use the command line interface to create a file on the switch that contains
the most recent 200 entries plus the previous 1000 entries. This file can then be
downloaded to the workstation using FTP. To create and download a log file, do
the following:
1.
Log into the switch through Telnet and create an archive of the event log.
The Set Log Archive command creates a file on the switch named
logfile
.
SANbox #> admin start
SANbox (admin) #> set log archive
2.
Open an FTP session on the switch and login with the account name
images
and password

in binary mode with the Get
command.
