Changing The Number Of Entries The Local Buffer Can Hold; Changing The Log Facility - Dell PowerConnect B-RX Configuration Manual

Example of CLI command logging
In the following example, two CLI sessions are run. In the first example, a telnet session enables CLI
command logging and configures router bgp and the BGP no neighbor command as shown.
telnet@ BigIron RX(config)# logging cli-command
telnet@ BigIron RX(config)# router bgp
telnet@ BigIron RX(config-bgp)# no nei 10.1.1.8 remote 10
In the next example, a console session configures router bgp and the BGP neighbor command as
shown.
BigIron RX(config)# router bgp
BigIron RX(config-bgp)# nei 10.1.1.8 remote 10
Using the show log command, you would see a series of log records as shown in the following.
BigIron RX(config-bgp)# show log
Syslog logging: enabled (0 messages dropped, 0 flushes, 0 overruns)
Dynamic Log Buffer (50 lines):
Sep 9 18:38:23:I:CLI CMD: "nei 10.1.1.8 remote 10" from console
Sep 9 18:38:21:I:CLI CMD: "router bgp" from console
Sep 9 18:38:07:I:CLI CMD: "no nei 10.1.1.8 remote 10" from telnet client 10.1.1.1
Sep 9 18:38:05:I:CLI CMD: "router bgp" from telnet client 10.1.1.1

Changing the number of entries the local buffer can hold

You also can use the logging buffered command to change the number of entries the local Syslog
buffer can store. For example.
BigIron RX(config)# logging buffered 100
The default number of messages is 50. The value can be from 1 – 1000. The change takes effect
immediately and does not require you to reload the software.
NOTE
If you decrease the size of the buffer, the software clears the buffer before placing the change into
effect. If you increase the size of the buffer, the software does not clear existing entries.

Changing the log facility

The Syslog daemon on the Syslog server uses a facility to determine where to log the messages
from the BigIron RX. The default facility for messages the BigIron RX sends to the Syslog server is
"user". You can change the facility using the following command.
NOTE
You can specify only one facility. If you configure the BigIron RX to use two Syslog servers, the device
uses the same facility on both servers.
BigIron RX(config)# logging facility local0
Syntax: logging facility <facility-name>
