Syslog Reboot Configuration Considerations

  • If the syslog buffer size was set to a different value using the logging buffered command, the syslog is cleared after a soft reboot, even when logging persistence is in effect. This occurs only with a soft reboot immediately following a syslog buffer size change. A soft reboot by itself does not clear the syslog. To prevent the system from clearing the syslog, leave the number of entries allowed in the syslog buffer unchanged.
  • Logging persistence does not save syslog messages after a hard reboot. When the RUCKUS ICX device is power-cycled, the syslog messages are cleared.
  • If logging persistence is enabled and you load a new software image on the device, you must first clear the log if you want to reload the device. (Refer to step 9 of Configuring Syslog Service.)
  • To configure the device to save the syslog messages after a soft reboot, use the logging persistence command.
