Remote Servers
(#1 and #2)
IP address of the remote server(s) where system logs are stored.
The system log is always saved to local SLC storage. It is retained through SLC unit
reboots for files up to 200K. Saving the system log to a server that supports remote
logging services (see RFC 3164) allows the administrator to save the complete system
log history.
Enable Log
Select to save a history of all configuration changes in a circular log. Disabled by
default. The audit log is saved through SLC 8000 advanced console manager reboots.
Size
The log has a default maximum size of 50 Kbytes (approximately 500 entries). You
can set the maximum size of the log from 1 to 500 Kbytes.
Include CLI
Commands
Select to cause the audit log to include the CLI commands that have been executed.
Disabled by default.
Include In System
Log
If enabled, the contents of the audit log are added to the system log (under the
General/Info category/level). Disabled by default.
Server
IP address of your network’s Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) relay server. If an
SMTP server is not specified, the SLC module will attempt to look up the MX record for
the domain in the destination email addresses of outgoing emails.
Sender
The email address of the sender of outgoing emails. The strings "$host" and "$domain"
can be part of the email address - they will be substituted with the actual hostname and
domain. The default is donotreply@$host.$domain.
Enable Logins
Enables or disables SSH logins to the SLC unit to allow users to access the CLI using
SSH. Enabled by default.
This setting does not control SSH access to individual device ports. (See
Device Ports
- Settings (on page 105)
for information on enabling SSH access to individual ports.)
Most system administrators enable SSH logins, which is the preferred method of
accessing the system.
Web SSH
Enables or disables the ability to access the SLC command Iine interface or device
ports (connect direct) through the Web SSH window. Disabled by default.
Timeout
If you enable SSH logins, you can cause an idle connection to disconnect after a
specified number of minutes. Select
Yes
and enter a value of from 1 to 30 minutes.
