errdump
•This command displays the error log, and shows all entries without page breaks. It is identical to
errshow, except that errshow prompts the user to press Return between each log entry.
•Error numbers start at one. If there are more errors than the size of the log, only the most recent
errors are shown. If you want to keep a log of more errors, invoke the syslogipadd command.
•Error Count - For errors that occur multiple times, the repeat count is shown in parentheses at the
end of the first line of output just after the time stamp. The maximum count is 999.
•Error Type - An upper-case string shows the error type.
•Error Level (Note - Level information reflects SNMP usage):
0 panic (the switch reboots)
1 critical
2 error
3 warning
4 information
5 debugging
