The static and dynamic buffers are both displayed when you display the log.
BigIron RX(config)# show logging
Syslog logging: enabled (0 messages dropped, 0 flushes, 0 overruns)
Static Log Buffer:
Dec 15 19:04:14:A:Fan 1, fan on right connector, failed
Dec 15 19:00:14:A:Fan 2, fan on left connector, failed
Dynamic Log Buffer (50 entries):
Dec 15 18:46:17:I:Interface ethernet 1/4, state up
Dec 15 18:45:21:I:Bridge topology change, vlan 4095, interface 4, changed
state to forwarding
Dec 15 18:45:15:I:Warm start
Notice that the static buffer contains two separate messages for fan failures. Each message of
each type has its own buffer. Thus, if you replace fan 1 but for some reason that fan also fails, the
software replaces the first message about the failure of fan 1 with the newer message. The
software does not overwrite the message for fan 2, unless the software sends a newer message for
fan 2.
When you clear log entries, you can selectively clear the static or dynamic buffer, or you can clear
both. For example, to clear only the dynamic buffer, enter the following command at the Privileged
EXEC level.
BigIron RX# clear logging dynamic-buffer
Syntax: clear logging [dynamic-buffer | static-buffer]
You can specify dynamic-buffer to clear the dynamic buffer or static-buffer to clear the static buffer.
If you do not specify a buffer, both buffers are cleared.
Time stamps
The contents of the time stamp differ depending on whether you have set the time and date on the
onboard system clock.

BigIron RX Series Configuration Guide
53-1001810-01
Buffer logging: level ACDMEINW, 3 messages logged
level code: A=alert C=critical D=debugging M=emergency E=error
I=informational N=notification W=warning
If you have set the time and date on the onboard system clock, the date and time are shown in
the following format:
mm dd hh:mm:ss
where:
•
mm – abbreviation for the name of the month
•
dd – day
•
hh – hours
•
mm – minutes
•
ss – seconds
For example, "Oct 15 17:38:03" means October 15 at 5:38 PM and 3 seconds.
