Displaying message content on the switch

This section provides information on the RASLog message format.

You can view the message documentation, such as the message text, message type, class (for AUDIT messages), message severity, cause, and action, on the switch console by using the rasman message id message_ID command.

To display the message documentation on the switch, perform the following steps.

1. Log in to the switch as admin.

2. Use the rasman message id message_ID command to display the documentation of a message. The message_ID values are case-sensitive.

   For example, enter the following command to display the documentation for EM-1059.

   

   device# rasman message id EM-1059
   Miscellaneous                                   EM-1059(7m)
