only if the cable status is Normal.

he failure location.

Configure and view the logs
The switch generates messages in response to events, faults, or errors occurring on the
platform as well as changes in configuration or other occurrences. These messages are
stored locally and can be forwarded to one or more centralized points of collection for
monitoring purposes or long-term archival storage. Local and remote configuration of the
logging capability includes filtering of messages logged or forwarded based on severity and
generating component.
Manage and view the memory log
The memory log stores messages in memory based upon the settings for message
component and severity. You can set the administrative status and behavior of logs in the
system buffer. These log messages are cleared when the switch reboots.
To manage and view the memory log:
1. Connect your computer
to the same network as the switch.
You can use a WiFi or wired connection to connect your computer to the network, or
connect directly to a switch that is off-network using an Ethernet cable.
2. Launch
a web browser.
3. In the address field of your web browser, enter the IP address of the switch.
