Configuring System Message Logging
The software generates four other categories of messages:
• Error messages about software or hardware malfunctions, displayed at levels warnings through
emergencies. These types of messages mean that the functionality of the switch is affected. For
information on how to recover from these malfunctions, see the system message guide for this
release.
• Output from the debug commands, displayed at the debugging level. Debug commands are
typically used only by the Technical Assistance Center.
• Interface up or down transitions and system restart messages, displayed at the notifications level.
This message is only for information; switch functionality is not affected.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Caution The console is a slow display device. In message storms some logging messages may be silently dropped
when the console queue becomes full. Set severity levels accordingly.
