Logging Console – Enables the logging of error messages to the
console.
Logging Level – Sets the minimum severity level for event

The system allows you to limit the messages that are logged by
specifying a minimum severity level. The following table lists the
error message levels from the most severe (Alert) to least severe
(Debug). The message levels that are logged include the
specified minimum level up to the Alert level.
Note: The access point error log can be viewed using the Event Logs
window in the Status section (page 5-68).The Event Logs window
displays the last 128 messages logged in chronological order,
from the newest to the oldest. Log messages saved in the access
point’s memory are erased when the device is rebooted.

configuration mode. The logging level command sets the
minimum level of message to log. Use the logging console
