Cabletron Systems SmartSwitch Connecting Between the SSR and Other Systems, Configuring Logging

Chapter 1: SSR Product Overview

Connecting Between the SSR and Other Systems

To test a connection between the SSR and an IP host, enter the following command in User or Enable mode:

Test connection between the SSR and an IP host.

ping <hostname-or-IPaddr> packets <num> size <num> wait <num> [flood] [dontroute]

To open a Telnet session from the SSR to an IP host, enter the following command in User or Enable mode:

Telnet to a specified IP host.

telnet <hostname-or-IPaddr> [socket <socket-number>]

The SSR accepts up to four Telnet sessions. You can immediately end a particular Telnet session (for example, an unauthorized user is logged in to the SSR).

To end a user’s Telnet session, first determine the session ID by entering the following command in Enable mode:

Show current Telnet sessions.

system show users

To end the Telnet session, enter the following command in Enable mode:

Kill the Telnet session.

system kill telnet-session <session-id>

Configuring Logging

During operation, the SSR system software sends messages to the management console. These messages include informational, warning, error, and fatal messages. Console messages can also be sent to a Syslog server.

To configure a Syslog server, enter the following command in Configure mode:

Configure a Syslog server.

system set syslog [server <hostname-or-

IPaddr>][level <level-type>][facility<facility-

type>][source <source-IPaddr>][buffer-size<size>]

If a Syslog server is identified and ACL logging is enabled, then messages about whether packets are forwarded or dropped because of ACL are sent to the Syslog server. Chapter 18, “Security Configuration Guide” on page 271 describes ACL logging.
