Description
This command creates a new output definition. The switch uses the
definition to send event messages to a device on your network. You can
create up to nineteen output definitions.
Note
This version of the AT-S63 management software supports only
syslog servers as output definitions.
Note
The switch must communicate with a syslog server through a local
network or subnet that has a routing interface. The switch uses the
IP address of the interface as its source address when sending
packets to the server. For background information, refer to “Routing
Interfaces and Management Features” on page 560. For instructions
on how to add a routing interface to the switch, refer to “ADD IP
INTERFACE” on page 573.
After creating a output definition with this command, you must customize it
by defining which event messages you want the switch to send. You can
customize a definition so that the switch sends all of its event messages or
limit it to just a selection of events from particular modules in the AT-S63
management software. Customizing a definition is accomplished with
“ADD LOG OUTPUT” on page 230 or “SET LOG OUTPUT” on page 245.
Note
The default configuration for a new output definition is no event
messages. The switch does not send events until you customize the
definition.
The OUTPUT parameter specifies the ID number for the new output
definition. The range is 2 to 20. Every definition must have a unique ID
number.
The SERVER parameter specifies the IP address of the syslog server.
