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)
N OTE : The Flash Level must be equal to or less than the RAM Level.

(i.e., power is reset through the command interface).
