Log File Commands
When initialized, each file will contain:
If the process of writing to a log file fails (for example, the compact flash card is full) and if a backup
location is not specified or fails, the log file will not become operational even if the compact flash
card is replaced. Enter either a clear log command or a shutdown/no shutdown command to
reinitialize the file.
If the primary location fails (for example, the compact flash card fills up during the write process), a
trap is sent and logging continues to the specified backup location. This can result in truncated files in
different locations.
The no form of the command removes the file-id from the configuration. A file-id can only be
removed from the configuration if the file is not the designated output for a log destination. The
actual file remains on the file system.
Default
No default file IDs are defined.
Parameters
file-id — The file identification number for the file, expressed as a decimal integer.

Description This command specifies the primary where the log or billing file will be created.
When creating files, the primary location is used as long as there is available space. If no space is
available, an attempt is made to delete unnecessary files that are past their retention date.
If sufficient space is not available an attempt is made to remove the oldest to newest closed log or
accounting files. After each file is deleted, the system attempts to create the new file.
A medium severity trap is issued to indicate that a compact flash is either not available or that no
space is available on the specified flash and that the backup location is being used.
A high priority alarm condition is raised if none of the configured compact flash devices for this file
ID are present or if there is insufficient space available. If space does becomes available, then the
alarm condition will be cleared.
Use the no form of this command to revert to default settings.
Default Log files are created on cf1: and accounting files are created on cf1:.
