Step 2 Switch from Panorama mode to Log
Collector mode on each M ‐ 100
appliance that will be a Dedicated Log
Collector.
Switching the mode of an M ‐ 100
appliance deletes any existing log
data and deletes all
configurations except the
management access settings.
After the switch, the M ‐ 100
appliance retains CLI access but
loses web interface access.
1. Connect to the M ‐ 100 appliance in one of the following ways:
• Attach a serial cable from your computer to the Console
port on the M ‐ 100 appliance. Then use terminal emulation
software (9600 ‐ 8 ‐ N ‐ 1) to connect.
• Use terminal emulation software such as PuTTY to open an
SSH session to the IP address that you specified for the
MGT interface of the M ‐ 100 appliance during initial
configuration.
2. Log in to the CLI when prompted. Use the default admin
account and the password that you specified during initial
configuration.
3. Switch to Log Collector mode by entering the following
command:
> request system logger-mode logger
4. Enter
Y
to confirm the mode change. The M ‐ 100 appliance
reboots. If the reboot process terminates your terminal
emulation software session, reconnect to the M ‐ 100
appliance to see the Panorama login prompt.
If you see a
CMS Login
prompt, this means the Log
Collector has not finished rebooting. Press Enter at the
prompt without typing a username or password.
5. Log back in to the CLI.
6. Verify that the switch to Log Collector mode succeeded:
> show system info | match logger_mode
If the mode change succeeded, the output displays:
system-mode: logger
Step 3 Record the serial number of each Log
Collector.
You
need the serial numbers to add the
Log Collectors as managed collectors on
the Panorama management server.
1. At the CLI of each Log Collector, enter the following command
to display its serial number.
> show system info | match serial
2. Record the serial number.
