sys force-msg

Use the force message control option to extend the message control feature functionality to the software and hardware log messages.

To enable the message control feature, you must specify an action, control interval, and maximum message number. After you enable the feature, the log messages, which get repeated and cross the maximum message number in the control interval, trigger the force message feature.

You can either suppress the message or send a trap notification, or both.
