3Com WL-455 manual System LOG, Link Configuration

„Bridge Hello Time (1-10 sec.)—Enter a value to determine how often the access point broadcasts the hello message.

„Bridge Forwarding Delay (4-30 sec.)—Enter a value to determine how long the access point remains in listening and learning states before its ports enter the forwarding state.

Link Configuration

There are two parameters for the Ethernet link and each WDS link:

„Link Path Cost (1-65535)—Enter a value to determine the cost of forwarding data through this link. Higher cost means the link is less efficient.

„Link Port Priority (0-255)—Enter a value to determine the preferred link to forward data when a network loop is detected. Lower values mean higher priority.

SYSTEM LOG

The System Log page allows you to set up a server to store event logs and to specify how the access point obtains the date and time. When you are finished configuring items on this page, click Apply.

Each logging message is tagged with a severity level, as defined in RFC3164. The severity levels are:

„Emergency: system is unusable

„Alert: action must be taken immediately

„Critical: critical conditions

„Error: error conditions

„Warning: warning conditions

„Notice: normal but significant condition

„Informational: informational messages

„Debug: debug-level messages

To set up a server for event logs: Select System Log Setup Enable, select a logging severity level from the pulldown list, enable the Logging Host and Logging Console, and enter the IP address of the server in the space provided.

To designate an SNTP server for obtaining the date and time: Select SNTP Server Enable and enter the IP addresses for primary and secondary SNTP servers in the spaces provided.
