198CHAPTER 6: CONFIGURING WX SYSTEM PARAMETERS

Viewing and	System logs provide information about system events that you can use to
Setting Log and	monitor and troubleshoot MSS. Event messages for the WX switch and its
Trace Settings	attached MAPs can be stored or sent to the following destinations:
	„ Stored in a local buffer on the WX
	„ Displayed on the WX console port
	„ Displayed in an active Telnet session
	„ Sent to one or more syslog servers, as specified in RFC 3164
	The system log is a file in which the newest record replaces the oldest.
	These entries are preserved in nonvolatile memory through system
	reboots.
	Traces enable you to perform diagnostic routines. You can set a trace
	with a keyword, such as authentication or sm, to trace activity for a
	particular feature, such as authentication or the session manager.
	CAUTION: Setting traces can have adverse effects on system
	performance. 3Com recommends that you use the lowest levels possible
	for initial trace commands, and slowly increase the levels to get the data
	you need.
