Monitoring and Logging System Information 391
Default Log Settings
System logging is enabled, and messages are sent to the console (severity
level: warning and above) and RAM log (severity level: informational and
above). Switch auditing is enabled. CLI command logging, Web logging, and
SNMP logging are disabled. By default, no messages are sent to the log file
that is stored in flash, and no remote log servers are defined.
Email alerting is disabled, and no recipient email address is configured.
Additionally, no mail server is defined. If a mail server is added, by default, no
authentication or security protocols are configured, and the switch uses TCP
port 25 for SMTP.
After email alerting is enabled and the mail server and recipient email address
are configured, log messages with a severity level of emergency and alert are
sent immediately with each log message in a separate mail. The email subject
is “Urgent Log Messages.” Log messages with a severity level of critical, error,
and warning are sent periodically in a single email. The email subject is “Non
Urgent Log Messages.” Messages with a severity level of notice and below are
not sent in an email.
