System Event Log—Event Configuration
The checkboxes and pull-down menus are not available unless the
Syslog Client Mode
on the
Syslog Configuration tab and the
E-mail Alert
on the SMTP Configuration tab are enabled first.
This tab mainly controls whether an event notification is to be sent to the
Syslog/SMTP
server.
The section labeled
System Event Selection
controls the event notification including Device Cold
Start, Authentication Failure, and MAC Violation. With the
Syslog/SMTP
checkbox selected, the
event log/email alert will be sent to the system log server/SMTP server respectively. The section
labeled
Port Event Selection
sets the trigger conditions for each port, triggering port events (link
up, link down, and both) to be sent to the system log server/SMTP server.
System event selection
There are three event types—Device Cold Start, Authentication Failure, and MAC Violation.
»
Device Cold Start
: Check the Syslog/SMTP checkboxes respectively to have the system issue
the event log/email alert to the system log/SMTP server when the device executes the cold
start action.
»
Authentication Failure
: When the SNMP authentication fails, the system will issue the event
log/email alert to the system log/SMTP server respectively.
»
MAC Address Violation
: If a device whose MAC address is not in the MAC address table
attempts to access the port, the system will issue the event log/email alert to the system log/
SMTP server respectively. (Note that the
Security
property of the
Port Control
function also has
to be set at
On
. See the
Port Control
section for further details.)
Port event selection
Each drop-down menu has four options—
Disable
,
Link UP
,
Link Down
, and
Link UP & Link Down
.
»
Disable
means no event will be sent to the system log/SMTP server.
»
Link UP
: The system will issue a log message only when the link-up event of the port occurs.
»
Link Down
: The system will issue a log message only when the link-down event of port occurs.
»
Link UP
& Link Down
: The system will issue a log message at the time when port connection is
link-up and link-down.
