Viewing Event Messages
You view events messages for one router at a time. The router’s event messages
are collected in an event log. To view the router’s event log, you can use the
Events Manager, which retrieves the log from the router to which you are
connected.
The Events Manager does not display event messages in real time.
You can scroll through the event messages using the window scroll bars (refer to
Figure 7-15). Choose Ascending to display events from the oldest to the most
recent. Choose Descending to display events from the newest (most recent) to the
oldest.
