3com 9000 SX User Manual

If priority is not specified, only messages of critical priority are 
displayed. If the subsystem is not specified, all subsystems are 
displayed.

If you enable the log display on a terminal connected to the console 
port, your settings will remain in effect even after your console session 
is ended (unless you explicitly disable the log display).

When using a Telnet connection, if your Telnet session is disconnected 
(due to the inactivity timer, or for other reasons), the log display is 
automatically halted. You must restart the log display by using the 

enable log display

 command.

In addition to maintaining an internal log, the Switch 9000 supports 
remote logging by way of the UNIX Syslog host facility. To enable 
remote logging, do the following:

■

Configure the Syslog host to accept and log messages.

■

Enable remote logging by using the following command:

enable syslog

■

Configure remote logging by using the following command:

config syslog <ipaddress> <facility> {<priority>} 

{<subsystem>}

Specify:

■

ipaddress — The IP address of the syslog host.

■

facility — The syslog facility level for local use. Options include 

local0

 through 

local7

.

■

priority — Filters the log to display message with the selected 
priority or higher (more critical). Priorities include critical, warning, 
and informational. If not specified, only critical priority messages 
are sent to the syslog host.

■

subsystem — Filters the log to display messages associated with 
the selected Switch subsystem. Subsystems include Syst, STP, Brdg, 
SNMP, Telnet, VLAN, and Port. If not specified, all subsystems are 
sent to the syslog host.
