Step 6
Terminal parameter-setting commands are set
locally and do not remain in effect after the
Device# terminal monitor
session has ended. You must perform this step
for each session to see the debugging messages.
Synchronizing Log Messages
You can synchronize unsolicited messages and debugprivileged EXEC command output with solicited device
output and prompts for a specific console port line or virtual terminal line. You can identify the types of
messages to be output asynchronously based on the level of severity. You can also configure the maximum
number of buffers for storing asynchronous messages for the terminal after which messages are dropped.
When synchronous logging of unsolicited messages and debug command output is enabled, unsolicited device
output appears on the console or printed after solicited device output appears or is printed. Unsolicited messages
and debug command output appears on the console after the prompt for user input is returned. Therefore,
unsolicited messages and debug command output are not interspersed with solicited device output and prompts.
After the unsolicited messages appear, the console again displays the user prompt.
This task is optional.
