Parameters 

UPDATE                Allows you to update logging configuration for all
                      subsystems actively logging without stopping
                      transport.  To change the logging configuration,
                      use the node management configurator (NMMGR). Refer
                      to the NS3000/iX Screens Reference Manual or to the
                      HP 3000/iX Network Planning and Configuration Guide 
                      for more information on configuring logging.  Once
                      changes are made, issue the SWITCHNMLOG UPDATE
                      command so that the changes take effect.

                      The UPDATE option may not be used with the
                      filenumber option.

filenumber            Switches the log file to a file with the specified
                      number.  The value for filenumber must be an
                      integer from 0 to 9999.  For example,

                      SWITCHNMLOG 10

                      makes NMLG0010 the current log file.  If you
                      specify a number that is already being used, then
                      the next available consecutive number is used.

                      The filenumber option may not be used with the
                      UPDATE option.

Discussion 

SWITCHNMLOG closes the current NMLG file and creates and opens a new one.
When you enter SWITCHNMLOG, NMS displays the message:

NMLG FILE NUMBER nnnn IS mm% FULL

NMLG FILE NUMBER pppp ON

where nnnn is the previous NMLG FILE number, mm is the percentage of file
space used, and pppp is the newly opened file numbered one more than the
last file number.

If network logging is disabled due to an irrecoverable error when
SWITCHNMLOG is entered, NMS displays the following message explaining the
cause.  The system will need to be brought back up with a warm or cool
start.

NMLG FILE NUMBER nnnn ERROR #nn.  NM LOGGING STOPPED.  (NMCNERR 36)

If network logging is enabled but currently suspended due to a
recoverable error, NMS displays the following message explaining the
cause.  When the problem is corrected, the manager can issue the
RESUMENMLOG command.

NMLG FILE NUMBER nnnn ERROR #nn.  NM LOGGING SUSPENDED.  (NMCNERR 38)
