Viewing the port log
The Fabric OS maintains an internal log of all port activity. The port log stores entries for each port as a
circular buffer. Each port has space to store 8000 log entries. When the log is full, the newest log entries
overwrite the oldest log entries. Port logs are not persistent and are lost over power-cycles and reboots. If
the port log is disabled, an error message displays.
NOTE: Port log functionality is completely separate from the system message log. Port logs are typically
used to troubleshoot device connections.
To view the port log:
1. Connect to the switch and log in as admin.
