The switch logs the most recent 100 messages of severity 0, 1, or 2 to the NVRAM log. You cannot
configure logging to the NVRAM.
You can configure which system messages should be logged based on the facility that generated the
message and its severity level. For information about configuring the severity level by module and
facility, see the

syslog Servers

syslog servers run on remote systems that are configured to log system messages based on the syslog
protocol. You can configure up to three syslog servers. For information about configuring syslog servers,
see the
To support the same configuration of syslog servers on all switches in a fabric, you can use the Cisco
Fabric Services (CFS) to distribute the syslog server configuration. For information about distributing
the syslog server configuration, see the
