Why Is System Information Needed? The information the switch provides can help you troubleshoot issues that might be affecting system performance. The cable diagnostics test help you troubleshoot problems with the physical connections to the switch. Auditing access to the switch and the activities an administrator performed while managing the switch can help provide security and accountability. Where Are Log Messages Sent? The messages the switch generates in response to events, faults, errors, and configuration changes can be recorded in several locations. By default, these messages are stored locally on the switch in the RAM (cache). This collection of log files is called the RAM log or buffered log. When the RAM log file reaches the configured maximum size, the oldest message is deleted from the RAM when a new message is added. If the system restarts, all messages are cleared. In addition to the RAM log, you can specify that log files are sent to the following sources: • Console - If you are connected to the switch CLI through the console port, messages display to the screen as they are generated. • Log file - Messages sent to the log file are saved in the flash memory and are not cleared when the system restarts. • Remote server - Messages can be sent to a remote log server for viewing and storage. • Email - Messages can be sent to one or more email addresses. You must configure information about the network Simple Mail Transport Protocol SMTP) server for email to be successfully sent from the switch. 236 Monitoring and Logging System Information
