Shutdown Log parameters on the General Event
Management dialog box:
Table 17-7. Event Log and Shutdown Log Fields Parameters
Log Purpose
Event Log A detailed, ongoing record of syslog messages that are
stored in the router's history table. This log is stored in
memory and is erased if the system shuts down or
reboots.
Shutdown Contains a list of events that occurred before the last
Log time the switch was shutdown. Because this log is
stored in nonvolatile memory, it is preserved during a
switch reboot or shutdown. It is designed to help you
analyze the events that occurred immediately prior to a
switch shutdown or reset.

sends a notification...
Upon System start.
For system events.
For each configuration change (for example,
enabling and disabling ports).
For Temperature status changes. Temperature
status messages could precede a switch
shutdown, and are often critical.
Upon a change in system resources.
Of fan status. Fan failures will eventually lead to
overheating the system. The Fan Status message
provides a good early warning for a failure that
could eventually cause the switch to shut down.
Of Port status changes for service and user ports.
Set a port as either service port/user port from
the port configuration page. The purpose of this
feature is to allow you to use different
notification level for critical (service ports), if
desired.
