Description
Use this command to display the port log, page by page.
The portLogShow command displays the same information as portLogDump, but it enables you to
press Enter after each page of output.
Port logs are circular log files in the switch firmware, which can save up to 8,192 entries. Refer to
portLogConfigShow to display the current port log size. Once the log is full, the newest log entries
delete the oldest log entries. Port logs capture switch-to-device, device-to-switch, switch-to-switch, some
device-to-device, and control information.
If the port log is disabled, the following message displays as the first line. Refer to portLogClear
command for more information.
