Using Switch Logging

Configuring the Switch Logging File Size

By default, the size of the switch logging file is 128000 bytes. To configure the size of the switch logging
file, use the swlog output flash file-size
size followed by the number of bytes, which must be at least 32000. (The maximum size the file can be is
dependent on the amount of free memory available in flash memory.)
Note. Use the ls command, which is described in the OmniSwitch 6800/6850/9000 Switch Management
Guide, to determine the amount of available flash memory.
For example, to set the switch logging file to 500000 bytes enter:
-> swlog output flash file-size 500000
