System Event Log—Event Configuration
The checkboxes and pull-down menus are not available unless the
Syslog Client Mode
on the
Syslog Configuration tab and the
E-mail Alert
on the SMTP Configuration tab are enabled first.
This tab mainly controls whether an event notification is to be sent to the
Syslog
/
SMTP
server.
The part of
System Event Selection
controls the event notification including Device Cold Start,
Authentication Failure, and MAC Violation. With the
Syslog
/
SMTP
checkbox ticked, the event
log/email alert will be sent to the system log server/SMTP server respectively. As for the part of
Port Event Selection
, port events (link up, link down, and both) can be sent to the system log
server/SMTP server by setting the trigger condition for each port respectively.
•
System event selection:
There are three event types—
Device Cold Start
,
Authentication
Failure
, and
MAC Violation
.
-
Device Cold Start:
Tick the Syslog/SMTP checkboxes respectively to have the
system issue the event log/email alert to the system log/SMTP server when the
device executes the cold start action.
-
Authentication Failure:
When the SNMP authentication fails, the system will issue
the event log/email alert to the system log/SMTP server respectively.
-
MAC Violation:
If a device whose MAC address is not in the MAC address table
attempts to access the port, the system will issue the event log/email alert to the
system log/SMTP server respectively. (Note that the
Security
property of the
Port
Control
function also has to be set at ‘On’. See the
Port Control
section for further
details.)
•
Port event selection:
Each drop-down menu has four options—
Disable
,
Link UP
,
Link
Down
, and
Link UP & Link Down
. Disable means no event will be sent to the system
log/SMTP server.
-
Link UP:
The system will issue a log message only when the link-up event of the
port occurs.
-
Link Down:
The system will issue a log message only when the link-down event of
port occurs.
-
Link UP & Link Down:
The system will issue a log message at the time when port
connection is link-up and link-down.
