Using Switch Logging

page 46-6

OmniSwitch AOS Release 6 Network Configuration Guide

This section describes the switch logging CLI commands, for enabling or disabling switch logging, 
displaying the current status of the switch logging feature, and displaying stored log information.

 command initializes and enables switch logging, while no 

 disables it.

To enable switch logging, enter the swlog command:

-> swlog

To disable switch logging, enter the no swlog command:

-> no swlog

No confirmation message will appear on the screen for either command.

The switch logging feature can log all switch error-type events for a particular switch application. You can 
also assign severity levels to the switch applications that will cause some of the events to be filtered out of 
your display. The 

 command is used to assign the severity levels to the applications.

The syntax for the 

 command requires that you identify a switch application and assign it 

a severity level. The severity level controls the kinds of error-type events that will be recorded by the 
switch logging function. If an application experiences an event equal to or greater than the severity level 
assigned to the application, the event will be recorded and forwarded to the configured output devices. You 
can specify the application either by the application ID CLI keyword or by its numeric equivalent.

The application ID information is shown in the following table. The severity level information is shown in 
the table beginning on
