QT: reduce impact of debugging (logging) on cisco devices

November 4th, 2010 Leave a comment Go to comments

Have you ever killed your router/switch by enabling “some” debugging output?
You can easily reduce the impact of debug-logging on cisco devices by disabling logging to the console port. Under normal circumstances you don’t need the logging output on the console port.
In global configuration mode type:

no logging console to disable logging to the console.

This will prevent your router/switch from generating an interrupt for each single character, that is put to the console interface.
