Thanks Andrew. That confirmed what I was thinking.
Do you have any idea about the 2nd part of my question ie having the router
put a line in the config that shows when and who made the last changes?

The router is always logging to the console (for the level settings
specified with logging con command) even when there is nothing connected
to it. Once the logging has occurred to the console, if nothing is
there to see it and post in its own buffer (e.g. a computer) then you
wont be able to retrieve the messages.
I'd suggest logging to con and buff to same level, then you can go look
at the log on the local machine... Of course, logging to a logging
server is best then you can turn off con and buff and save the router
cpu and memory resources.
HTH,

Hi guys,
I apologize in advanced if these are dumb questions, but....
I can't figure out how to view the 165 messages logged as shown below to
the console. Does the 165 represent the number of messages IOS sent to
the console and to see them I would have to scroll up quite a bit? If
so, when did the router first start counting? Was it from the last time
the router was rebooted?
Rack1R5#sh log
Syslog logging: enabled (0 messages dropped, 1 messages rate-limited, 0
flushes, 0 overruns, xml disabled)
Console logging: level debugging, 165 messages logged, xml disabled
Monitor logging: level debugging, 0 messages logged, xml disabled
Buffer logging: level debugging, 2 messages logged, xml disabled
Logging Exception size (4096 bytes)
Count and timestamp logging messages: disabled
Trap logging: level informational, 170 message lines logged
Log Buffer (4096 bytes):
*Mar 1 20:57:35.698: %SYS-5-CONFIG_I: Configured from console by
ROUTER4 on vty 0 (187.3.56.6) *Mar 1 20:57:42.582: %CLEAR-5-COUNTERS:
Clear counter on all interfaces by ROUT ER4 on vty0 (187.3.56.6)
Also, I would like the router to add lines to the config file like
below:
Router1#show running-config
Building configuration...
Current configuration : 4285 bytes
!
! Last configuration change at 12:58:26 EDT Fri Jun 27 2003 by ijbrown !
NVRAM config last updated at 13:01:45 EDT Fri Jun 27 2003 by kdooley !
I've tried various things but, so far, no success. This is what I've
done so far.
I added a username password command and enabled login local under the
vty lines. Then, I telnetted in and logged in under the name ROUTER4.
Then, I logged out and re-entered the router via the console and did a
show run. I was expecting to see something like above, "Last config
change at ..." But, no luck.
Can someone explain what I need to do to have the router keep track of
when and who made changes to the config file and have that info added to
the config file as shown above?
TIA, Tim
