Sh Log

Hi Everyone,

Can anyone help me out with this? I've just set up some security features like ACL's for vty lines etc but when I #sh log after attempting a telnet no information is displayed? I get the following:

R1#sh log
Syslog logging: enabled (12 messages dropped, 0 messages rate-limited,
0 flushes, 0 overruns, xml disabled, filtering disabled)

No Active Message Discriminator.

No Inactive Message Discriminator.

Console logging: level debugging, 39 messages logged, xml disabled,
filtering disabled
Monitor logging: level debugging, 0 messages logged, xml disabled,
filtering disabled
Buffer logging: level debugging, 4 messages logged, xml disabled,
filtering disabled
Logging Exception size (4096 bytes)
Count and timestamp logging messages: disabled
Persistent logging: disabled

No active filter modules.

ESM: 0 messages dropped

Trap logging: level informational, 43 message lines logged

Log Buffer (4096 bytes):

But nothing under the Log Buffer section. I am expecting to see links going up and down in this section, systems restarts and my SEC-6-IPACCESSLOGS

How can I switch this stuff on?

Thanks

Please show us your config including the ACLs if you would.

do you have "log" at the end of each ace that you want to log? If not it wont matter what you have your logging level set at.

Yup, the level doesn't matter, if you don't have the log keyword at the end of the statements. Have you tried to make any log configs?
