Caution:
Risk of data loss
Before removing the PCMCIA (or external flash) card from your primary SF/CPU, you must
stop the logging of system messages. Failure to do so may corrupt the file system on the
PCMCIA (or external flash) card and cause your log file to be permanently lost.
Prerequisites
• A PCMCIA (or external flash) card must be installed.
Procedure steps
1. Enable system logging to a PCMCIA (or external flash) card:
2. Configure the logfile parameters:
Variable definitions

commands in this procedure.
flags logging <true|
false>
Troubleshooting

Variable
Configuring system logging to a PCMCIA or external flash
Value
Enables or disables logging to a PCMCIA (or
external flash) card. The log file is named using an
8.3 (xxxxxxxx.sss) format. The first six characters
of the file name contain the last three bytes of the
chassis base MAC address. The next two
characters specify the slot number of the SF/CPU
that generated the logs. The last three characters
denote the sequence number of the log file.
Multiple sequence numbers are generated for the
same chassis and same slot, if the SF/CPU is
replaced, reinserted, or if the maximum log file size
is reached.
