Diagnostic Features Clearing the system message log 1. Connect to the switch and log in as admin. 2. Enter the errClear command. 3. Repeat step 2 on the standby CP for a complete erasure of the message log. All switch and chassis events are removed from both CPs. Port log Fabric OS maintains an internal log of all port activity. The port log stores entries for each port as a circular buffer. For all other switches, the number of lines range from 8192 to 16384. These ranges are for all ports on the switch, not just for one port. When the log is full, the newest log entries overwrite the oldest log entries. The port log is not persistent and is lost over power-cycles and reboots. If the port log is disabled, an error message displays. NOTE Port log functionality is separate from the system message log. The port log is typically used to troubleshoot device connections. Viewing the port log 1. Connect to the switch and log in as admin. 2.

Port log
Fabric OS maintains an internal log of all port activity. The port log stores entries for each port as a circular buffer. For all other switches,
the number of lines range from 8192 to 16384. These ranges are for all ports on the switch, not just for one port. When the log is full, the
newest log entries overwrite the oldest log entries. The port log is not persistent and is lost over power-cycles and reboots. If the port log
is disabled, an error message displays.
NOTE
Port log functionality is separate from the system message log. The port log is typically used to troubleshoot device
connections.
