A few point to note about logs
• By default, the logging is limited to the first six levels.
• The event log is now automatically saved to flash, so rebooting will not loose
them. NOTE – since the event logs are written on the flash, once the flash
memory is full, the logs stop writing. It is important to erase the log periodically
or use syslog capability to download the logs to a syslog server (syslog is available
on MNS-6K-SECURE only)
• The event log now includes more information, because of the additional
flexibility built into the log engine. For example, it now logs the IP address and
user name of a remote user login
• The log size parameter is now redefined as the max size of the log that is saved to
flash. More events might appear in the log as they happen, but the whole list will
be trimmed to the specified max size when a save command is issued, or the
system rebooted.
These logs are in compliance with the definitions of RFC 3164, though not all the nuances of
the syslog are implemented as specified by the RFC.
