The Switch supports log output to two locations, 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 Flash will be retained even if the Switch is rebooted or powered off.
Logs with the selected severity level and all logs of greater severity are sent to the host. For example, if Error is selected for the logging level, the logged messages include Error, Critical, Alert, and Emergency.
