Show Log - Administratively Down

[davidhuynh5]

When I manually shutdown an interface, the syslog message "administratively down" does not appear in the log. How can I correct this?

Thanks in advance.

ms-3722d-man-r1(config)#inter s6/1/0
ms-3722d-man-r1(config-if)#shut
ms-3722d-man-r1(config-if)#do sh log
Syslog logging: enabled (0 messages dropped, 11 messages rate-limited, 0 flushes, 0 overruns, xml disabled, filtering disabled)

No Active Message Discriminator.

David,

The default is to log messages to the console.  May be it is turned off

So try this command and test again

config t

logging con

Nope. No luck. I need the syslog message "administratively down" so that I create a EEM script to perform certain tasks.

Hi David,

Just posting up a quick thought on the run. I'm not sure what platform you are running but some devices may have the logging of the event off as default.

You can have a look at

#logging event link-status

or similar config under the interface, or as a global toggle to switch on the event logging for interface status.

HTH

Thanks Eugene. That worked.
