Lucent Technologies P550 Configuring the Protocol Event Log

Monitoring the Cajun Switch (Layer 2 & Layer 3)

❒Shutdown Log - stores the same information as the Event Log, but generally in a smaller table because the table is stored in the switch’s nonvolatile RAM (NVRAM). This log list is particularly useful in assessing the cause of a switch failure, because the information is retained even after the switch restarts.

Configuring the Protocol Event Log

You can use the protocol event log to enable RIP and OSPF packet tracing for Layer 3 only. RIP requests and responses received and sent through all RIP interfaces are logged to the event log as protocol events. OSPF packet types received and sent through all OSPF interfaces are logged to the event log as protocol events. AppleTalk packet types received and sent through all AppleTalk interfaces are logged to the event log as protocol events. LDAP packet types received and sent through all LDAP interfaces are logged to the event log as protocol events.

Note: Enabling the protocol event log may cause the event log to be rapidly filled with protocol events.

To configure the protocol event log:

1.In the Event Subsystem section of the Web Agent window, click Event Configuration. The Event Management dialog box opens.

2.In the ID column, click one of the following:

•RIP

•OSPF

•LDAP

•AppleTalk

3.Use Table 16-8 to configure Event Table actions. (Log and Console are the only available settings).

4.Click APPLY to save your changes, or CANCEL to restore previous settings.

5.In the Event Subsystem of the Web Agent, click Protocol Event Configuration. The Protocol Event Management window opens.
