Displaying Events (config/sys/events)
This command displays the event log entries (up to 3000 messages) generated by the switch. Once
the event log reaches the maximum number of entries, it overwrites the oldest entries in the log with

For a list of the severity levels and event messages, see Appendix A: Event Messages on page 28.

Configuring the Event Log Severity Filter (config/sys/sev)
This command sets the event log’s severity filter level. When set, the event log will only record events
that are equal to or higher than the specified severity level. The default setting is 5.
Each event has a particular severity level ranging between “emergency” and “info”. You can
designate the lowest severity level at which to report an event in the event log. For example, if the
severity level for event log reporting is designated as “alert,” then the switch logs messages of the
“alert” or the “emergency” severity level only—“emergency” is the only severity level higher than
“alert”.
To change the event log severity level:
1. From the System Configuration menu (config/sys), type sev and press E
NTER.
The current severity level value is displayed in brackets before the command prompt.
2. Type the desired selection (1-7) and press E
NTER.
