Enterasys Networks 2000 manual Ping IP-addr

Setting SYSLOG Parameters

Use the following procedure to specify the SYSLOG server and the types of messages you want the CLI to log on the server.

1.Ensure that you are in Enable mode by entering the enable command in the CLI.

2.Use the following command to verify that the XP-2000 can reach the SYSLOG server by pinging the server:

ping <IP-addr>

3.Ensure that you are in Configure mode by entering the configure command in the CLI.

4.If you have not already done so, use the interface add ip command to set the IP address and netmask for the en0 Ethernet interface, as shown in the following example:

xp-1(config)#interface add ip en0 address-netmask 10.50.11.22/16

Note: The en0 interface is automatically created by the system and is reserved for the XP-2000’s management port.

5.Use the following commands to “add” the SYSLOG server to the XP-2000, set the message level, and set the SYSLOG facility:

system set syslog server <hostname-or-IP-addr>system set syslog level fatalerrorwarninginfo system set syslog facility <facility-type>

Here is an example:

xp-1# config

xp-1(config)#system set syslog server 10.50.11.12 xp-1(config)#system set syslog level info xp-1(config)#system set syslog facility local0
