Motorola Enterprise Series Routers, 6161252-00-01 manual Logging

System Configuration 3-55

•Last Member Query Count – the number of Group-Specific Query messages sent before the router assumes that there are no members of the host group being queried on this interface. The default last member query count is 2.

•Fast Leave – Toggling this option to On enables a non-standard expedited leave mechanism. The querier keeps track of which client is requesting which channel by IP address. When a leave message is received, the querier can check its internal table to see if there are any more clients on this group. If there are none, it immediately sends an IGMP leave message to the upstream querier. By default, Fast Leave is set to Off.

Press Escape twice to return to the System Configuration menu.

Logging

You can configure a UNIX-compatible (BSD syslog protocol - RFC 3164) syslog client to report a number of subsets of the events entered in the Router’s WAN Event History. See “WAN Event History” on page 9-4.

Select Logging from the System Configuration menu.

The Logging Configuration screen appears.
