Return message types with CLI commands
When a CLI command returns a message, that message is now prefixed with a category describing
the type, as follows:
• Error
• Warning
• Information
Syntax:
session show-message-type [ enable | [disable]]
When enabled, the CLI return messages are prefixed with string that indicates the
type of message. Entered at the manager level.
The disable option disables prefixing returned messages for the session for which
this command is executed.
Note: This setting is not saved when the switch is rebooted.
Default: Disabled on all CLI sessions
