Audit log configuration
3
1. Set up an external host machine with a system message log daemon running to receive the
audit events that will be generated.
2. On the switch where the audit configuration is enabled, enter the syslogdIpAdd command to
add the IP address of the host machine so that it can receive the audit events.
You can use IPv4, IPv6, or DNS names for the syslogdIpAdd command.
3. Ensure the network is configured with a network connection between the switch and the
remote host.
4. Check the host SYSLOG configuration. If all error levels are not configured, you may not see
some of the audit messages.
Configuring an audit log for specific event classes
1. Connect to the switch from which you want to generate an audit log and log in using an account
assigned to the admin role.
2. Enter the auditCfg -- class command, which defines the specific event classes to be filtered.
switch:admin> auditcfg --class 2,4
Audit filter is configured.
The auditCfg event class operands are identified in Table 7 on page 60.
3. Enter the auditCfg -- enable command, which enables audit event logging based on the
classes configured in step 2 .
switch:admin> auditcfg --enable
Audit filter is enabled.
To disable an audit event configuration, enter the auditCfg -- disable command.
4. Enter the auditCfg -- show command to view the filter configuration and confirm that the
correct event classes are being audited, and the correct filter state appears (enabled or
disabled).
switch:admin> auditcfg --show
Audit filter is enabled.

5. Verify the audit event log setup by making a change affecting an enabled event class and
confirming that the remote host machine receives the audit event messages.
