112 Introduction
Introduction
The 6511RC software provides a system log utility. The system log subsystem generates an event message for
certain errors and significant occurrences within the 6511RC system. The 6511RC can store these system log
messages in memory, or send them to another device for processing and/or monitoring by an operator. Each
message type has a defined priority level. You can tell the 6511RC where to send system log messages based on
the priority of the message. The 6511RC can send system log messages to the following destinations:
• Flash memory—The 6511RC’s Non-volatile Read-only Memory (NVRAM)
• RAM—The 6511RC’s Random Access Memory (RAM)
• Config port—The 6511RC’s RS-232 control port presented as an RJ-45 connector on the front panel
• SNMP trap daemon—An external host computer running SNMP trap daemon software. An SNMP trap
daemon collects and stores SNMP trap messages for processing and/or operator monitoring.
• SysLog daemon—An external host computer running SysLog daemon software. A SysLog daemon collects
and stores SysLog messages for processing and/or operator monitoring.
Note
Object identifiers specified in the Patton Enterprise MIB define the
6511RC’s System Log parameters.
