Real-Time Display
Along with viewing a snapshot of the log, you can configure the
system to maintain a running real-time display of log messages on
the console. To turn on the log display, enter this command:
enable log display
To configure the log display, use this command:
configure log display {<priority>}
If priority is not specified, only messages of critical priority
display.
If you enable the log display on a terminal connected to the console
port, your settings remain in effect even after your console session
ends (unless you explicitly disable the log display).
When using a Telnet connection, if your Telnet session is
disconnected (because of the inactivity timer or for other reasons),
the log display is automatically halted. To restart the log display,
use the
enable log display command.
Remote Logging
Along with maintaining an internal log, the 480T routing switch
supports remote logging using the syslog host facility. You can
configure up to four syslog servers for remote logging. To enable
remote logging configure the syslog host to accept and log
messages. Use these commands:
1. Enable remote logging by using this command:
enable syslog
2. Configure remote logging by using this command:
configure syslog {add} <ipaddress> <facility>
{<priority>}
3. Specify:
ipaddressThe IP address of the syslog host.
facilityThe syslog facility level for local use. Options
include
local0 through local7.
priorityFilters the log to display messages with the
selected or higher (more critical) priority.
