Enabling real-time display of Syslog messages
By default, to view Syslog messages generated by a BigIron RX, you need to display the Syslog
buffer or the log on a Syslog server used by the BigIron RX.
You can enable real-time display of Syslog messages on the management console. When you
enable this feature, the software displays a Syslog message on the management console when the
message is generated.
When you enable the feature, the software displays Syslog messages on the serial console when
they occur. However, to enable display of real-time Syslog messages in Telnet or SSH sessions, you
also must enable display within the individual sessions.
To enable real-time display of Syslog messages, enter the following command at the global CONFIG
level of the CLI.
BigIron RX(config)# logging console
Syntax: [no] logging console
This command enables the real-time display of Syslog messages on the serial console. You can
enter this command from the serial console or a Telnet or SSH session.
To also enable the real-time display for a Telnet or SSH session, enter the following command from
the Privileged EXEC level of the session.
telnet@BigIron RX# terminal monitor
Syslog trace was turned ON
Syntax: terminal monitor
