IPQoS Administration Guide

How to Enable Logging of IPQoS Messages During Booting

  1. Become superuser on the IPQoS-enabled machine.

  2. Open the /etc/syslog.conf file.

  3. Add the following text as the final entry in the file.

    Use tabs, rather than spaces, between the columns.


    user.info                 /var/adm/messages
    

    This entry logs all boot-time messages that are generated by IPQoS into the /var/adm/messages file.

  4. Reboot the system to apply the messages.
