AG 5000
Installing the AG 5000 47
Enabling the Logging Options (recommended)
System logging creates log files and error messages generated at the system level.
AAA logging creates activity log files for the AAA (Authentication, Authorization,
and Accounting) functions. You can enable either of these options.
When system logging is enabled, the standard SYSLOG protocol (UDP) is used to
send all message logs generated by the AG 5000 to the specified server.
1.
Enter
log
(logging) at the Configuration menu.
The system displays the current logging status (enabled or disabled).
2.
Enable or disable the system and/or AAA logging options, as required.
If you enable either option, go to Step 3, otherwise logging is disabled and you
can terminate this procedure.
3.
Assign a valid ID number (0-7) to each server.
4.
Enter the IP addresses to identify the location of the system and AAA SYSLOG
servers on the network (the default for both is 0.0.0.0).
When logging is enabled, log files and error messages are sent to these servers
for future retrieval. To see sample reports, go to “Sample SYSLOG Report” on
page 229 and “Sample AAA Log” on page 228 .

Although the AAA and billing logs can go to the same server, we
recommend that they have their own unique server ID number assigned
(between 0 and 7). When managing multiple properties, the properties
are identified in the log files by their IP addresses.
