Configuring the syslog message destinations
The system console displays messages only through the serial port. If you log in to a switch through
the Ethernet port or modem port, you will not receive system console messages.
You can filter messages that display on the system console by severity using the errFilterSet
command. All messages are still sent to the system message log and syslogd (if configured).
Setting the system console severity level
You can limit the types of messages that are logged to the console using the errFilterSet command.
The system messages displayed on the console are filtered up to and include the configured

CRITICAL.
To set the severity levels for the system console, perform the following steps.
1. Log in to the switch as admin.
2. Execute the errFilterSet [-d console -v severity] command to set the console severity level. The
3. Execute the errFilterSet command to verify the configured filter settings.

SNMP trap recipient

An unsolicited message that comes to the management station from the SNMP agent on the
device is called a trap. When an event occurs and if the event severity level is at or below the set
severity level, the SNMP trap, swEventTrap, is sent to the configured trap recipients. The VarBind in
the Trap Data Unit contains the corresponding instance of the event index, time information, event
severity level, the repeat count, and description. The following are the possible severity levels:
•
•
•
•
•
•
By default, the severity level is set to None, implying all traps are filtered and therefore no event
traps are received. When the severity level is set to Informational, all traps with the severity level of
Informational, Warning, Error, and Critical are received. For more information on changing the
severity level of swEventTrap, refer to
NOTE
The Audit messages are not converted into swEventTrap.
