Configuration procedure

1) Configure the switch:

# Enable the information center.

<Switch> system-view

[Switch] info-center enable

# Disable the function of outputting information to log host channels.

[Switch] undo info-center source default channel loghost

# Configure the host whose IP address is 202.38.1.10 as the log host. Permit ARP and IP modules to

output information with severity level higher than informational to the log host.

[Switch] info-center loghost 202.38.1.10 facility local4

[Switch] info-center source arp channel loghost log level informational debug state off trap

state off

[Switch] info-center source ip channel loghost log level informational debug state off trap

state off

2) Configure the log host:

The operations here are performed on SunOS 4.0. The operations on other manufacturers' Unix

operation systems are similar.

Step 1: Execute the following commands as the super user (root user).

# mkdir /var/log/Switch

# touch /var/log/Switch/information

Step 2: Edit the file “/etc/syslog.conf” as the super user (root user) to add the following selector/action

pairs.
