Defining the Message Severity Level (Optional)

You can limit messages displayed to the selected device by specifying the severity level of the message,
which are described in
To define the message severity level, perform this task:
Command
Step 1
Switch# configure terminal
Step 2
Switch(config)# logging console level
Step 3
Switch(config)# logging monitor level
Step 4
Switch(config)# logging trap level
Step 5
Switch(config)# end
Step 6
