REMOTE LOGGING

In addition to maintaining an internal log, the Summit supports remote logging by way of the UNIX Syslog host facility. To enable remote logging, do the following:

Configure the Syslog host to accept and log messages.

Enable remote logging by using the following command: enable syslog

Configure remote logging by using the following command:

config syslog <ipaddress> <facility> {<priority>} {<subsystem>}

Specify:

ipaddress — The IP address of the syslog host.

facility — The syslog facility level for local use. Options include local0 through local7.

priority — Filters the log to display message with the selected priority or higher (more critical). Priorities include critical, warning, and informational. If not specified, only critical priority messages are sent to the syslog host.

subsystem — Filters the log to display messages associated with the selected switch subsystem. Subsystems include Syst, STP Brdg, SNMP, Telnet, VLAN, and Port. If not specified, all subsystems are sent to the syslog host.

Refer to your UNIX documentation for more information about the Syslog host facility.
