The Syslog feature:
• Allows you to store system messages and/or errors
• Can store to local files on the switch or a remote server running a syslog daemon
• Method of collecting message logs from many systems
Persistent Log Files
• Currently three - one for each of the last three sessions
• Each log has two parts:
• Start up log is the first 32 messages after system startup
• Operational log is the last 32 messages received after the startup log is full
• Files are stored in ASCII format
• slog0.txt - slog2.txt
• olog0.txt - olog2.txt
Where 0 is for the boot, 1 is for the last boot, 2 is for the boot before that; the third one overflows
upon the next boot.
• Can be saved to local server to monitor at a later point in time
The following illustration explains how to interpret log files.
