Restricting Logging Rates - Motorola BSR 2000 Configuration And Management Manual

Release 1.0

Restricting Logging Rates

You can restrict logging rates to save space on a device and ensure that there is no
network performance degradation due to excessive logging traffic. Logging rates can
be restricted for both CLI and DOCSIS logging control modes. When the rate of
logging messages exceeds the configured rate limit, logging activity is disabled and
must be restarted.
Note: Rate limiting applies to all log messages and can not be restricted for a
particular type of log message.
To restrict the rate of log messages, specify the number of logged messages allowed
per number of seconds with the logging rate-limit command in Global configuration
mode:
