Solutie

Most network switches do not keep detailed logs by default, but some managed switches can log events if configured to do so. Here’s a breakdown:

Unmanaged Switches

  • No logging capabilities

  • Simple plug-and-play devices

  • No web interface, CLI, or memory to store logs.

Managed Switches

  • Yes, they can keep logs, depending on the model and configuration.

  • Logs may include:

    • Link up/down events

    • Port status changes

    • Errors (CRC, collisions, etc.)

    • MAC address table changes (e.g., new device detected)

    • Security violations (e.g., port security triggered).
