Debug/Syslog Operation

Display the current debug configuration. If Syslog logging is currently active, the list f configured Syslog servers is displayed.

Display the current Syslog server list when Syslog logging is disabled.

Configuring Debug/Syslog Operation

1.To use a Syslog server as the destination device for debug messaging, follow these steps:

a.Enter the logging < syslog-ip-addr> command at the global configura­ tion level to configure the Syslog server IP address and enable Syslog logging. Optionally, you may also specify the destination subsystem to be used on the Syslog server by entering the logging facility command.

If no other Syslog server IP addresses are configured, entering the logging command enables both debug messaging to a Syslog server and the Event debug message type. As a result, the switch automati­ cally sends Event Log messages to the Syslog server, regardless of other debug types that may be configured.

b.Re-enter the logging command in Step “a” to configure additional Syslog servers. You can configure up to a total of six servers. (When multiple server IP addresses are configured, the switch sends the debug message types that you configure in Step 3 to all IP addresses.)

2.To use a CLI session on a destination device for debug messaging:

a.Set up a serial, Telnet, or SSH connection to access the switch’s CLI.

b.Enter the debug destination session command at the manager level.

3.Enable the types of debug messages to be sent to configured Syslog servers and/or the current session device by entering the debug < debug- type > command:

ProCurve# debug <alldestinationeventipipv6 lldpssh>

Repeat this step if necessary to enable multiple debug message types.

By default, Event Log messages are sent to configured debug destination devices. To block Event Log messages from being sent, enter the no debug event command.

4.If necessary, enable a subset of Event Log messages to be sent to config­ ured Syslog servers by specifying a severity level and/or system module using the following commands

ProCurve(config)# logging severity < debug major error warning info > ProCurve(config)# logging system-module< system-module>
