Configuring Log Settings

Use the Log Settings page to enable logs globally, and to define which event types are logged into temporary memory (RAM) and persistent memory (flash).

Log messages in flash memory are retained across a reboot. When the log is full, the oldest events are automatically deleted and replaced with the new entries.

To configure log settings:

STEP 1 Click Administration > System Log > Log Settings in the navigation window. STEP 2 Enable the types of logging to be performed on the system:

Log Aggregation—When enabled, this feature combines multiple logs of the same type into a single log message. If two or more identical log messages are received consecutively within a configured time interval, then these messages are aggregated into a single log message.

Log Aggregation Interval—If Log Aggregation is enabled, specify the interval in seconds. Consecutive messages that are received within this interval will be aggregated into a single log message. The range is 15 seconds to 120 seconds.

RAM Memory Logging—Select to enable logging in RAM.

Flash Memory Logging—Select to enable logging in flash memory.

Flash Log Size—Enter the maximum number of log messages to store in the flash memory log.

STEP 3 Enable the event severity levels to be logged for each log type. The severity levels are listed from the highest to the lowest severity, as follows:

Emergency—System is not usable.

Alert—Action is needed.

Critical—System is in a critical condition.

Error—System is in error condition.

Warning—System warning has occurred.

Notice—System is functioning properly, but a system notice has occurred.

SLM2008PTNA specifications

Cisco Systems SLM2008PTNA is a robust network switch designed specifically for small to medium-sized businesses. It operates with 8 Fast Ethernet ports, providing advanced features and best-in-class performance to enhance your network infrastructure. This model ensures seamless connectivity for multiple devices, making it an ideal choice for environments requiring reliable network communication.

One of the standout features of the SLM2008PTNA is its Layer 2 switching capabilities. This switch supports auto-negotiation, which allows each port to automatically detect the speed of the connected device and adjust accordingly. This ensures optimal performance and smooth operation across various connected devices. Additionally, the switch supports a non-blocking architecture, ensuring that bandwidth is not shared, which significantly enhances data transmission speed.

Power over Ethernet (PoE) is another key technology incorporated into the Cisco SLM2008PTNA. It simplifies the installation of network devices such as VoIP phones, security cameras, and wireless access points by supplying power through the Ethernet cable. This eliminates the need for separate power sources, reducing installation costs and increasing flexibility in device placement.

Moreover, the SLM2008PTNA comes equipped with advanced security features, such as port security and VLAN support. Port security allows network administrators to restrict access to the network based on MAC addresses, preventing unauthorized access and enhancing network security. The support for Virtual Local Area Networks (VLANs) enables the segmentation of the network into different logical networks, improving traffic management and security within each segment.

The switch is designed for easy management and monitoring, featuring a user-friendly web interface that simplifies configuration. This allows network administrators to quickly set up and manage the device without requiring extensive technical knowledge. Additionally, its compact design makes it suitable for desktop or rack-mount installation, maximizing space efficiency in network environments.

In conclusion, the Cisco Systems SLM2008PTNA is an essential component for small to medium-sized businesses looking to enhance their network performance. With its Layer 2 switching capabilities, Power over Ethernet support, advanced security features, and ease of management, this switch provides a well-rounded solution for modern networking needs, delivering reliable performance and scalability for growth.
