# packet level

## Syntax

```
[no] packet level <n>
```

## Syntax Description

<table><thead><tr><th width="203">Keyword</th><th>Description</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><code>no</code></td><td>(Optional) Sets the severity level to the default value.</td></tr><tr><td>n</td><td>The minimum severity level to be logged.</td></tr></tbody></table>

## Defaults

The default minimum severity level is 5.

## Usage Guidelines

This command sets the minimum severity level of messages logged by the low-level packet handling subsystem in Island. Logging less severe messages can be useful when diagnosing network issues, but will also increase the amount of information logged.

The highest severity level is 0 and the lowest is 7, as follows:

<table><thead><tr><th width="91">Level</th><th>Description</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>0</td><td>Critical system failure</td></tr><tr><td>1</td><td>Critical or unexpected unrecoverable error</td></tr><tr><td>2</td><td>Unexpected recoverable error</td></tr><tr><td>3</td><td>Less severe error</td></tr><tr><td>4</td><td>Warning</td></tr><tr><td>5</td><td>Informational message</td></tr><tr><td>6</td><td>Debugging message</td></tr><tr><td>7</td><td>Verbose debugging message</td></tr></tbody></table>

## Examples
