Remote Logging
In addition to maintaining an internal log, the switch supports remote logging by way of the UNIX
syslog host facility. To enable remote logging, follow these steps:
1
Configure the syslog host to accept and log messages.
2 Enable remote logging by using the following command:
enable syslog
3 Configure remote logging by using the following command:
config syslog {add} <ipaddress> <facility> {<priority>}
Specify the following:
—
ipaddress
— The IP address of the syslog host.
—
facility
— The syslog facility level for local use. Options include
local0
through
local7
.
—
priority
— Filters the log to display message with the selected priority or higher (more critical).
Priorities include (in order) critical, emergency, alert, error, warning, notice, info, and debug. If
not specified, only critical priority messages are sent to the syslog host.
NOTE
Refer to your UNIX documentation for more information about the syslog host facility.
Logging Configuration Changes
ExtremeWare allows you to record all configuration changes and their sources that are made using the
CLI by way of Telnet or the local console. The changes are logged to the system log. Each log entry
includes the user account name that performed the change and the source IP address of the client (if
Telnet was used). Configuration logging applies only to commands that result in a configuration
change. To enable configuration logging, use the following command:
enable cli-config-logging
To disable configuration logging, use the following command:
disable cli-config-logging
CLI configuration logging is enabled by default.
Logging Commands
The commands described in Table 43 allow you to configure logging options, reset logging options,
display the log, and clear the log.
Table 43: Logging Commands
