Catalyst 2960 serial event log

reybperez · ‎05-12-2008

We have a catalyst 2960 IOS Version 12.2(25)FX and we want to know how can we displayed all events on a telnet session just like it does when you connect using a console cable?

We tried issuing a "show log" command but it didn't show all the information.

Are you talking about the "terminal monitor" command ?

I'm not sure about the "terminal monitor" command. We are just wondering why when we issue the "show log" command under "telnet session" it doesn't give us the same information when we issue it under "console session". Is there any other command that we need to issue to get event logs of the this switch?

To capture what's happening on each router you can use debug ip icmp detail and debug ip packet detail, increase the buffers and record it or send it to the console and view it in real time , if your coming over the vty log to the monitor or use term mon which replicates like logging to the console either , logging to monitor is on by default in ios so you will see debug if you enable for a specific feature even if buffer is not set, other than that you could setup span session and capture the traffic on either side in wireshark

Again syslog is on by default in ios it can't be disabled but if you don't have logging host set it won't actually do anything .
