The logging command is used to configure logging on the PIX Firewall. Logging is disabled
by default. Table 10-3 describes the parameters of the logging command.
Table 10-3 logging Command Parameters
Command Description
logging on Enables the transmission of syslog messages to all
output locations. You can disable sending syslog
messages with the no logging on command.
no logging message n Allows you to disable specific syslog messages. Use the
logging message message_number command to resume
logging of specific disabled messages.
logging buffered n Stores syslog messages in the Cisco Security Appliance

command. Cisco Systems recommends that you use this
command to view syslog messages when the PIX
Seecurity Appliance is in use on a network.

logging console n Displays syslog messages on a Security Appliance
console as they occur. Use this command when you are
debugging problems or when there is minimal load on
the network. Do not use this command when the
network is busy because it can reduce the Security
Appliance performance.

Appliance console with Telnet.
