To create a log file, a file ID is defined, the target CF or USB drive is specified, and the rollover retention interval period for the log file is defined. The rollover interval is defined in minutes and determines how long a file is used before it is closed and a new log file is created. The retention interval determines how long the file is stored on the storage device before it is deleted.
Use the following CLI syntax to configure a log file:
config>log
file-id log-file-id
description description-string
location cflash-id
