Ensure ‘logging to Serial console’ is disabled

Details

Disables the logging to the Serial console

Rationale:

Enabling the logs to be sent to the Serial console may negatively impact the logging to the buffer and remote syslog servers and to a certain extent the buffer and syslog servers may no longer receive logs because the logs generation will follow the Serial console speed.

Solution

Firepower Device Manager:

Use Objects > Syslog Servers and Device > System Settings > Logging Settings.

or

Firepower Management Center:

Device > Platform Setting > Threat Defense Policy > Syslog > Syslog Settings
