TLX Matrix Switch Interfaces thinklogical Rev. H – Jan. 2019
NTP
Network Time Protocol - Used to keep the
switch’s internal clock set to the correct time. All
internal clocks drift slightly over time. By enabling this service, you keep the switch's clock
synchronized to an external time reference. To use the service, you must have a time server
running on your network or allow the switch to access a public time server. NTP configuration is
contained in the file
/etc/ntp.conf.
Details about NTP configuration can be found at:
http://tldp.org/LDP/sag/html/basic-ntp-config.html.
System Log Files
The switch records system events into files located in the directory
/var/log/.
If you wish to
preserve log files, you may redirect the logs to another system. This is a standard feature of
Linux's rsyslog program. This redirection is enabled by entries in the
rsyslog
configuration file
/etc/rsyslog.conf
or in configuration files located in
/etc/rsyslog.d/ .
The two log files with the most interesting information are:
/var/log/daemon.log
and
/var/log/api.
The former contains system events and the latter contains switch events and
API commands and responses. More information about the API log file can be found in:
Manual_Configuring_the_TLX_ASCII_Interface
The TLX switch defaults to sending all log entries to the server at
vxcontrol.vx.net
. This
name is defined in the file
/etc/hosts
and defaults to 192.168.13.9 .
Linux systems can receive external syslog messages (from the switch). Please refer to the
documentation for your version of Linux to enable the logging of remote messages.
Windows will require third-party software to receive syslog messages.
SD Firmware Version
There is a text file on the router
’s internal SD card called
/etc/vxr-release
that contains the
firmware version.
Example contents are:
•
TLX320 V5.01
•
TLX48 V5.02
•
TLX640 V5.05
