Is it possible to detect if any cable was connected/disconnected in real time via Telnet session on Cisco Catalyst 4506?

For example, I have an IBM Switch EN94093R that does it by default, when I unplug and then plug again a cable from the switch, it shows up on the SSH/Telnet session instantly, as shown below:

Is there a similar way to do this on the Cisco Switch? It is really useful on cases like mine where you don't know the mac or IP addresses.

    Did you turn on "term mon"?

    Do you want to see it on the console, or do you want a snmp trap? You can also use syslog.

  • @RonMaupin I tried to use it, but it wont enable. If I use the command sh logging to check, it shows: Syslog logging: enabled (0 messages dropped, 150 messages rate-limited, 0 flushes, 0 overruns, xml disabled, filtering disabled) Console logging: disabled Monitor logging: disabled

  • @Ron I want to see it instantly on the console, specially link up or link down events.
