Verifying User Login with System Messages Using the CLI

To configure the switch logging to capture system messages when a user attempts to log into a switch,
follow these messages:
Use the logging level command to change the level to 7 (debug) for auth, authPriv, and aaad.
Step 1
switch(config)# logging level aaa 7
This sets the switch to log debug information for these facilities.
Step 2 Use the logging logfile command to set the logging level to 7 (debug) for system messages saved to the
named log file.
switch(config)# logging logfile TestFile 7
This sets the switch to save system messages at the debug level or above in the TestFile log file. At this
point, all future login attempts are tracked in the log file.
