Chapter 3: Basic Switch Parameters

Setting a Remote Log Server

You can use the AlliedWare Plus Web browser interface to assign the switch to a remote log server which is part of the Syslog feature. However, you must use the CLI to view or clear the event log. For information about the CLI, see the SysLog chapters in the AlliedWare Plus Management Software Command Line Interface User’s Guide.

To activate remote logging on the switch, do the following:

1.Select the System tab.

The System Settings tab is displayed. See Figure 6 on page 33.

2.From the System Settings tab, select Services.

The System Services page is displayed. See Figure 10 on page 39.

3.Configure the following parameters as necessary:

Remote Log— Enables the switch to send status and error messages to a remote log server. This parameter is optional.

Server IP Address— Specifies the IP address of the remote log server. This field is mandatory if you selected the Remote Log field above. You can enter the IP address in the IPv4 format: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx.

where each x is a decimal number from 0 to 255. The numbers are separated by periods.

4.Click Apply.

5.Click SAVE to save your changes on the switch.
