Switch Logging 9-9
If priority is not specified, only messages of critical priority are
displayed. If the subsystem is not specified, all subsystems are
displayed.
If you enable the log display on a terminal connected to the console
port, your settings will remain in effect even after your console session
is ended (unless you explicitly disable the log display).
When using a Telnet connection, if your Telnet session is disconnected
(due to the inactivity timer, or for other reasons), the log display is
automatically halted. You must restart the log display by using the
enable log display
command.
Remote Logging In addition to maintaining an internal log, the Switch 3800 supports
remote logging by way of the UNIX Syslog host facility. To enable
remote logging, do the following:
■
Configure the Syslog host to accept and log messages.
■
Enable remote logging by using the following command:
enable syslog
■
Configure remote logging by using the following command:
config syslog <ipaddress> <facility> {<priority>}
{<subsystem>}
Specify:
■
ipaddress — The IP address of the syslog host.
■
facility — The syslog facility level for local use. Options include
local0
through
local7
.
■
priority — Filters the log to display message with the selected
priority or higher (more critical). Priorities include critical, warning,
and informational. If not specified, only critical priority messages
are sent to the syslog host.
■
subsystem — Filters the log to display messages associated with
the selected Switch subsystem. Subsystems include Syst, STP, Brdg,
SNMP, Telnet, VLAN, and Port. If not specified, all subsystems are
sent to the syslog host.
Refer to your UNIX documentation for more information about the
Syslog host facility.
