Using Configuration Logging

Beginning with Cisco IOS Release 12.2(25)SEC, you can log and view changes to the switch
configuration. You can use the Configuration Change Logging and Notification feature to track changes
on a per-session and per-user basis. The logger tracks each configuration command that is applied, the
user who entered the command, the time that the command was entered, and the parser return code for
the command. This feature includes a mechanism for asynchronous notification to registered
applications whenever the configuration changes. You can choose to have the notifications sent to the
syslog.
