Solution

ISSUE:

  • We see the logs on the switch continuously
  • The user "root"  is currently not active .

 

EXPLANATION:

 

  • A script is configured on the switch which has to run on the switch continuously .
  • The script was run with user “root” and it has root-level access and that explains the class “ super user” in the logs.
  • So until the script is actively running, you would be seeing this logs.

 

This is an expected behaviour
