Local Logging
The System Log is designed to monitor the operation of the Switch by recording the event
messages it generates during normal operation. These events may provide vital information about
system activity that can help in the identification and solutions of system problems.
The Switch supports log output to two directions: Flash and RAM. The information stored in the
system's RAM log will be lost after the Switch is rebooted or powered off, whereas the
information stored in the system's Flash will be kept effective even if the Switch is rebooted or
powered off. The log has a fixed capacity; at a certain level, the EWS Switch will start deleting the
oldest entries to make room for the newest.
Click the Apply button to accept the changes or the Cancel button to discard them.
Remote Logging
The internal log of the Switch has a fixed capacity; at a certain level, the Switch will start deleting
the oldest entries to make room for the newest. If you want a permanent record of all logging
activities, you can set up your syslog server to receive log contents from the Switch. Use this
page to direct all logging to the syslog server. Click the Add button, define your syslog server, and
select the severity level of events you wish to log.
