Configuring System Message Logging
Enabling and Disabling Sequence Numbers in Log Messages

messages with sequence numbers so that you can unambiguously see a single message. By default,
sequence numbers in log messages are not displayed.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to enable sequence numbers in log messages:
To disable sequence numbers, use the no service sequence-numbers global configuration command.
This example shows part of a logging display with sequence numbers enabled:
