Disabling the logging process can slow down the switch because a process must wait until the messages
are written to the console before continuing. When the logging process is disabled, messages appear on
the console as soon as they are produced, often appearing in the middle of command output.
The logging synchronous global configuration command also affects the display of messages to the
console. When this command is enabled, messages appear only after you press Return. For more
information, see the
To re-enable message logging after it has been disabled, use the logging on global configuration
command.

Log messages to an internal buffer on the switch. The default buffer size
is 4096. The range is 4096 to 2147483647 bytes.
If the switch fails, the log file is lost unless you previously saved it to
Flash memory. See Step 4.
Do not make the buffer size too large because the switch could run
Note
out of memory for other tasks. Use the show memory privileged
EXEC command to view the free processor memory on the switch.
However, this value is the maximum available, and the buffer size
should not be set to this amount.
