Configuring System Message Logging

This chapter describes how to configure system message logging on Cisco MDS 9000 Family switches.

It includes the following sections:

About System Message Logging

properly configured system message logging server. You can also monitor system messages remotely by

accessing the switch through Telnet, SSH, or the console port, or by viewing the logs on a system

message logging server.

When the switch first initializes, the network is not connected until initialization completes. Therefore,

messages are not redirected to a system message logging server for a few seconds.

Log messages are not saved across system reboots. However, a maximum of 100 log messages with a

severity level of critical and below (levels 0, 1, and 2) are saved in NVRAM.
