DESCRIPTION

Certain system events normally cause log messages to be sent to the console. If you find that these are interfering with your use of the console, you can disable printing of these messages via the troff command. To re-enable the messages, use the tron command.

EXAMPLE

Ethernet port link status changes are normally logged to the console. For example, removing and re-connecting an active link-partner from/to port 4 might show :-

link-monitor port 4 down
link-monitor port 4 up: auto speed 100Mbit; full-duplex; flow none; MDI-X
marty>

      

Use troff to disable these messages :-

marty> troff
Console logging stopped

      

Any changes to port link status will not be logged to the console until the tron command is used :-

marty> tron
Console logging started
