[Solved] console logging showing up in configs during backups

Hi all,

I found an issue with a Cisco SMB SG300. Some times during the backup process there are events that cause console output.. this then looks like part of the config and shows as a config change.

I've attached a screenshot of the email notification.

This isn't that big of a deal as it doesn't happen often... but I wonder if there's a way to make this stop.

Thanks,

Jim

Hi,

Is there no way to turn off logging to console on these switches.

Something like "no terminal monitor" or similar?

Yep,

Code: Select all

no logging console
That did the trick.

Guess how I am going to deploy that to 60+ switches?! :)

Thanks Tomas!

Jim

I will take a wild guess and say Mass Config Push? :)

Anyway, happy to hear that worked for you, marking the topic as [Solved].

Hi Tomas... This issue has resurfaced as I've found that the other engineers on the team prefer to leave console logging turned on all the time. Any chance turning off console logging could be baked into the device definition so that during a backup, it is turned off, then back on at the end? I suppose there would need to be some logic to check to see if it is on or off first so that it would not be put into a different state than it was found.

Thanks,

Jim
