CLI References
• “Event Logging” on page 84
Parameters
These parameters are displayed:
• System Log Status – Enables/disables the logging of debug or error messages to the logging
process. (Default: Enabled)
• Flash Level – Limits log messages saved to the switch’s permanent flash memory for all levels
up to the specified level. For example, if level 3 is specified, all messages from level 0 to level 3
will be logged to flash. (Range: 0-7, Default: 3)
• RAM Level – Limits log messages saved to the switch’s temporary RAM memory for all levels
up to the specified level. For example, if level 7 is specified, all messages from level 0 to level 7
will be logged to RAM. (Range: 0-7, Default: 7)
NOTE
The Flash Level must be equal to or less than the RAM Level.
All log messages are retained in RAM and Flash after a warm restart (i.e., power is reset through the
command interface).
All log messages are retained in Flash and purged from RAM after a cold restart (i.e., power is turned
off and then on through the power source).

1. Click Administration, Log, System.
2. Select Configure Global from the Step list.
