Troubleshooting
Debug and Syslog Messaging Operation
C-42
Example: Suppose that there are no Syslog servers configured on the switch
(the default). Configuring one Syslog server enables debug logging to that
server and also enables Event Log messages to be sent to the server.
Figure C-14. Example of Configuring Basic Syslog Operation
Note that after you enable Syslog logging, if you do not want Event Log
messages sent to the Syslog server(s), you can block such messages by
executing no debug event. (This has no effect on standard logging of messages
in the switch's Event Log.)
Example. Suppose that you want to:
■ Configure Syslog logging of ACL and IP-OSPF packet messages on a
Syslog server at 18.38.64.164 (with user as the default logging facility).
Also display these messages in the CLI session of your terminal device's
■
management access to the switch.
■ Prevent the Switch's standard Event Log messages from going to the
Syslog server and the CLI.
Assuming the debug/Syslog feature is disabled on the switch, you would use
the commands shown in figure C-15 to configure the above operation.
Displays the default debug
configuration. (There are no Syslog
server IP addresses or debug
types configured.)
When the logging command
configures a Syslog IP address, the
switch automatically enables
debug messaging to the Syslog
address, the user facility on the
Syslog server, and the Event debug
message type.
