CHAPTER 17
Event Logging
This chapter shows you different ways to inspect logs and how to configure an external log
server.
17.1 Event Logging Overview
You can configure the switch to save specific events in four different log targets:
RAM - This log is saved into the switch’s volatile memory. The logs are cleared when the
switch is rebooted.
Flash - This log is saved into the switch’s non-volatile memory. You can view the logs even
after the switch is rebooted. Due to the space limitations on the switch the oldest log entries are
overwritten as new events are recorded.
Server - You can configure syslog servers to store system events from the switch. The switch
uses UDP protocol to send log messages to the remote servers. The syslog servers must be
Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD) syslog protocol compliant.
17.2 Logging Screen
Use this screen to specify which system events should be recorded and where the log messages
should be saved. Click Logging > Settings in the navigation panel to view the screen as
shown.
