portLogShow

Displays the port log with page breaks.

Synopsis

portlogshow [count[, saved]]

Description

Use this command to display the port log with page breaks. This command displays the same
information as portLogDump, but one page at a time.

The port log is a circular log file in the switch firmware which can save up to 65,536 entries
depending on the hardware platform. Use portLogConfigShow to display the current port log size.
Once the log has reached the maximum size, new entries replace the oldest ones. The port log
captures switch-to-device, device-to-switch, switch-to-switch, some device-to-device, and control
information.

If the command is executed while the port log is disabled, a warning message is displayed. Refer to
the portLogClear command for more information.

For each log entry, the following information is displayed:

Time

milliseconds.
