Logging
The switch log tracks all configuration and fault information
pertaining to the device. Each entry in the log contains the following
information:
❑
Timestamp
— The timestamp records the month and day of
the event, along with the time (hours, minutes, and seconds)
in the form HH:MM:SS. If the event was caused by a user, the
user name is also provided.
❑
Fault level
— Table 13-3 describes the three levels of
importance that the system can assign to a fault.
By default, log entries that are assigned a critical or warning
level remain in the log after a switch reboot. Issuing a clear log
command does not remove these static entries. To remove log
entries of all levels (including warning or critical), use the
following command:
clear log static
❑
Subsystem
— The subsystem refers to the specific functional
area to which the error refers. Table 13-4 describes the
subsystems.
