TLX12 Matrix Switch Product Manual

Rev. E, Oct., 2019
The default name used by trap2sink is '
snmp.trap
' and is defined in the file
/etc/hosts
as pointing to
127.0.0.1. The easiest method to change the trap address is to modify the
/etc/hosts
entry and not
change the trap2sink setting in the configuration file. Users may have multiple trap2sink entries in the
configuration file to specify multiple trap destinations.
See:
Manual_TLX_Matrix_Switch_SNMP_Traps
NTP SUPPORT
NTP, or
Network Time Protocol
, is used to keep the internal clock on the switch set to the correct
time.
By enabling this service, users keep the switch
’s clock synchronized to an external time reference.
To use the service, users must have a time server running on their network or allow the switch to access
a public time server. NTP configuration is contained in the file
/etc/ntp.conf
Details about NTP configuration may be found at:
http://tldp.org/LDP/sag/html/basic-ntp-config.html
SYSTEM LOG FILES SUPPORT
The switch records system events into files located in the directory
/var/log/.
If you wish to preserve
log files, you may redirect the logs to another system(s). This is a standard feature of Linux's rsyslogd
program. Redirection is enabled by entries in
rsyslog
configuration files located in
/etc/rsyslog.d/
Details about syslog configuration file entries may be found at:
