System Log Configuration
System Log is useful to provide system administrator monitor switch events history.
The switch supports syslog server mode. User can install the syslog server in one
computer, then configure the server address and event types in the switch's system
log configuration. When the events occur, the switch will send information or warning
message to the syslog server. The administrator can analysis the system logs
recorded in the syslog server to find out the cause of the issues.
The switch Web UI allows you to Enable the Syslog Server, assign the IP address
and assign the syslog level.
Server Mode
Indicates the server mode operation. When the mode operation is enabled, the
syslog message will send out to syslog server. The syslog protocol is based on UDP
communication and received on UDP port 514 and the syslog server will not send
acknowledgments back sender since UDP is a connectionless protocol and it does
not provide acknowledgments. The syslog packet will always send out even if the
syslog server does not exist. Possible modes are:
Enable
server mode operation.
Disable
server mode operation.
Server Address
Indicates the IPv4 host address of syslog server. If the switch provide DNS feature, it
also can be a host name.
