APC AP7900 manual Syslog

Switched Rack PDU

USER’S GUIDE

®

An Access option (the Settings option in the control console) enables (by default) or disables SNMP. When SNMP is enabled, the Access Control settings allow you to control how each of the four available SNMP channels is used.

Syslog

By default, the Rack PDU can send messages to up to four Syslog servers whenever System (embedded management card) and Switched Rack PDU (Device) events occur. The Syslog servers, which must be specifically identified by their IP addresses or domain names, record the events in a log that provides a centralized record of events that occur at network devices.

This user’s guide does not describe Syslog or its configuration values in detail. For more information about Syslog, see
