Managing security logs

Security logs are very important for locating and troubleshooting network problems. Generally, security
logs are output together with other logs. It is difficult to identify security logs among all logs.
To solve this problem, you can save security logs into the security log file without affecting the current log
output rules.

Remarks
By default, log file
overwrite-protection is disabled.
With the all-port-powerdown
keyword specified in the
command, the device shuts down
all the physical ports except for the
console port, the management
Ethernet port, and IRF ports when
the log file is full or the free space
of the flash is not enough. To
restore normal state, backup the
log file, delete the original log file
to release storage space, and then
bring up the ports.
This feature is available only in
FIPS mode. For more information
about FIPS, see Security
Configuration Guide.
The default setting is 10 MB.
To ensure normal operation, set the
size argument to a value between
1 MB and 10 MB.
By default, the log file is saved in
the directory flash:/logfile.
The configuration made by this
command cannot survive an IRF
reboot or a master/subordinate
switchover.
Use either method.
By default, the system saves logs to
the log file every 86400 seconds.
The logfile save command is
available in any view.
