Enabling Audit and Security Logs

system in the network. You log audit and security events to a system log server, using the logging extended command in
CONFIGURATION mode.
Audit Logs
The audit log contains configuration events and information. The types of information in this log consist of the following:
● User logins to the switch.
● System events for network issues or system issues.
● Users making configuration changes. The switch logs who made the configuration changes and the date and time of the
change. However, each specific change on the configuration is not logged. Only that the configuration was modified is
logged with the user ID, date, and time of the change.
● Uncontrolled shutdown.
