Page 10-5
Log Task ID
Determines whether or not you want to see the task ID that can be included in the syslog
message.
Use Task Name
This allows the user to display descriptive task names for syslog messages (see the Display
internals sub-menu above) instead of numeric codes.
Message tag
Text of up to 10 characters that is added to every message leaving the switch. It is useful
when multiple switches send messages to the same host.
