Enabling And Disabling Timestamps On Log Messages - Cisco 2950 - Catalyst Switch Configuration Manual

Chapter 27 Configuring System Message Logging
Command
Step 5 show running-config
Step 6
copy running-config startup-config
To disable synchronization of unsolicited messages and debug output, use the no logging synchronous
[level severity-level | all] [limit number-of-buffers] line configuration command.

Enabling and Disabling Timestamps on Log Messages

By default, log messages are not timestamped.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to enable timestamping of log messages:
Command
Step 1
configure terminal
Step 2 service timestamps log uptime
or
service timestamps log datetime [msec] [localtime]
[show-timezone]
Step 3 end
Step 4 show running-config
Step 5
copy running-config startup-config
To disable timestamps for both debug and log messages, use the no service timestamps global
configuration command.
This example shows part of a logging display with the service timestamps log datetime global
configuration command enabled:
*Mar
