Synopsis portlogshow [count[, saved]]
Description Use this command to display the port log, page by page. The portLogShow command displays the
same information as portLogDump, but one page at a time.
The port log is a circular log file in the switch firmware, which can save up to 32,768 entries. Refer
to portLogConfigShow to display the current port log size. Once the log has reached the maximum
size, new entries displace the oldest ones. The port log captures switch-to-device, device-to-switch,
switch-to-switch, some device-to-device, and control information.
If the command is executed while the port log is disabled, a
message is displayed. Refer to portLogClear command for more information.
