Solved: 4948 not logging port events

carock · ‎12-09-2009

I upgraded one of my old 3500 switches to a 4948. The log on the 4948 doesn't show port events like up/down events. All I see in the log is configuration changed events.

Is there a way to turn this on?

I have this in the config.

logging buffered 65536 debugging

logging trap debugging

logging source-interface Vlan1

logging 10.1.1.2

Thanks,

Chuck

My switch won't take that command.

Apologies, the command was introduced in IOS version 12.2(25)SG so you would need to upgrade to have it available.

Just follow Jon's advice and use the interface range command and apply " logging event link-status" to all your ports .

You need to enable "logging event link-status ..." either globally for all interfaces or on a per-interface basis -

That worked!

I didn't think to try the port level commands.

Thank you.
