About this task

Note

Note

The platform logs CLILOG and SNMPLOG as INFO. Normally, if you configure the logging level to WARNING, the system skips all INFO messages. However, if you enable CLILOG and SNMPLOG the system logs CLI Log and SNMP Log information regardless of the logging level you set. This is not the case for other INFO messages.

Procedure

  1. Enter Global Configuration mode:

    enable

    configure terminal

  2. Enable SNMP trap logging:

    snmplog enable

  3. Optional: Disable SNMP trap logging:

    no snmplog enable

  4. View the contents of the SNMP log:

    show logging file module snmplog
