580 Appendix A: Troubleshooting a WS Switch
320657-A
Use the IP address of the syslog server to which you want messages sent. (See Table 38 on page 576 for infor-
mation about severity levels.)
Use the optional local-facility keyword to override the default WSS Software facility numbers and replace
them with one local facility number. Use the numbers 0 through 7 to map WSS Software event messages to
one of the standard local log facilities local0 through local7 specified by RFC 3164.
If you do not specify a local facility, WSS Software sends the messages with their default WSS Software facil-
ities. For example, AAA messages are sent with facility 4 and boot messages are sent with facility 20 by
default.
For example, the following command sends all error-level event messages generated by an WSS to a server at
IP address 192.168.153.09 and identifies them as facility 5 messages:
23x0# set log server 192.168.153.09 severity error local-facility 5
success: change accepted.
To stop sending log messages to a syslog server, use the following command:
clear log server ip-addr
To disable logging to the server, use the following command:
set log server ip-addr disable
Setting Telnet Session Defaults
Session logging is disabled by default, and the event level is set to information (info) or higher. To enable
event logging to Telnet sessions and change the default event severity level, use the following command:
set log sessions severity severity-level enable
(For information on severity levels, see Table 38 on page 576.)
To disable session logging, use the following command:
set log sessions disable
Changing the Current Telnet Session Defaults
By default, log information is not sent to your current Telnet session, and the log level is set to information
(info) or higher. To modify the severity of events logged to your current Telnet session, use the following
command from within the session:
set log current severity severity-level
(For information about severity levels, see Table 38 on page 576.)
To enable current session logging, type the following command:
23x0# set log current enable
success: change accepted
