Monitoring the 833IS
In Cisco Configuration Mode, you are able to monitor statistics and the status of the
833IS. During your Telnet session, you can execute the
show commands which
retrieve the latest statistics and are displayed on your Telnet interface.
The 833IS can also send Event Log messages in real time to up to 4 Syslog servers
