Switch Management Commands 2178
User Guidelines
Messages at the selected level and above (numerically lower) are displayed on
the console. Debug level messages are intended for use by support personnel.
The output is voluminous, cryptic, and because of the large number of
messages generated, can adversely affect switch operations. Only set the
logging level to debug under the direction of support personnel.

The following example limits messages logged to the console based on
severity level “alerts”.
console(config)#logging console alerts
