Configuring Switch Logging
Switch logging is a feature that allows you to activate and configure the logging of various
types of switch information. Once you activate logging for a specific facility through the
switch logging command, you may also decide whether the log output should display on the
console, be saved to a file, or be both displayed and saved to a file. To enter the switch
logging submenu, enter
swlogc
at the system prompt. A screen similar to the following displays:
