Symptom

16.9.1: No way to stop popping up of "%SEC_LOGIN-5-LOGIN_SUCCESS: " logs on console. %SEC_LOGIN-5-LOGIN_SUCCESS: " logs may be unnecessarily/annoyingly popping up on console and we may want to suppress those. Notably, "%SEC_LOGIN-5-LOGIN_SUCCESS: " logs pop up when "login on-success log" is present or configured on the box but here it is not the case and also there is no way to stop these logs (by applying command "no login on-success log") but to apply a workaround in the interim till next reboot.

Conditions

Default behaviour in 16.9.1. Behaviour has been changed due to applying of some security related asks/compliance and "login on-success log" getting enabled by default in the process.

Workaround

Switch(config)#no login ? block-for Set quiet-mode active time period delay Set delay between successive fail login on-failure Set options for failed login attempt on-success Set options for successful login attempt quiet-mode Set quiet-mode options Switch(config)#no login on-success ? log Generate syslogs on successful logins Switch(config)#no login on-success log ? every Periodicity for logs generated Switch(config)#no login on-success log every ? Number defining periodicity Switch(config)#no login on-success log every 65535 <=== Set some high number so periodicity is high and there would be less instances of popping of such events. *Note:- This workaround would sustain till next reboot. So it needs to be applied after every reboot.
