Configuring System Message Logging
Purpose
(Optional)
Displays the monitor logging configuration.
Enables you to add the description for physical Ethernet
interfaces and subinterfaces in the system message log. The
description is the same description that was configured on
the interface.
The no option disables the printing of the interface
description in the system message log for physical Ethernet
interfaces.
(Optional)
Copies the running configuration to the startup
configuration.
Purpose
Enters global configuration mode.
Configures the name of the log file used to store system
messages and the minimum severity level to log. A lower
number indicates a higher severity level. Severity levels
range from 0 to 7:
• 0 – emergency
• 1 – alert
• 2 – critical
• 3 – error
• 4 – warning
