Table 56 Syslog Configuration commands

Command

Description

[no] logging log {<feature>}

Displays a list of features for which syslog messages can

 

be generated. You can choose to enable/disable specific

 

features or enable/disable syslog on all available features.

 

Features include:

 

console

 

system

 

mgmt

 

cli

 

stg

 

vlan

 

ssh

 

ntp

 

ip

 

web

 

rmon

 

ufd

 

Command mode: Global configuration

show logging

Displays the current syslog settings.

 

Command mode: All

Secure Shell Server configuration

Telnet traffic on the network is not secure. These commands enable Secure Shell (SSH) access from any SSH client. The SSH program securely logs into another computer over a network and executes commands in a secure environment. All data using SSH is encrypted.

Secure Shell can be configured on the switch using the console port only. The commands are not available if you access the switch using Telnet or the Browser-based Interface (BBI).

NOTE: See the N8406-022 1Gb Intelligent L2 Switch Application Guide for information on SSH.

The following table describes the SSHD Configuration commands.

Table 57 SSHD Configuration commands

Command

Description

ssh interval <0-24>

Defines interval for auto-generating the RSA server key. The switch will auto-

 

generate the RSA server key at the interval defined in this command. The range

 

is 0-24 hours.

 

The value of zero (0) means the RSA server key auto-generation is disabled. If

 

the switch has been busy performing any other key generation and the assigned

 

time of interval expires, the RSA server will skip generating the key.

 

Command mode: Global configuration

ssh scp-password

Defines the administrator password that is for Secure Copy (SCP) only. The

 

username for this SCP administrator is scpadmin.

 

Typically, SCP is used to copy files securely from one machine to another. In the

 

switch, SCP is used to download and upload the switch configuration using

 

secure channels.

 

Command mode: Global configuration

ssh generate-host-key

Generates the RSA host keys manually. The switch creates this key

 

automatically while configuring the switch with Secure Shell (SSH). But you can

 

generate the key manually by using this command if you need to overwrite the

 

key for security reasons. The command will take effect immediately.

 

Command mode: Global configuration

ssh generate-server-key

Generates the RSA server key. The switch creates this key automatically while

 

configuring the switch with Secure Shell (SSH). You can generate the key

 

manually by using this command if you need to overwrite the key for security

 

reasons. The command will take effect immediately.

 

Command mode: Global configuration

ssh port <TCP port

Sets the SSH server port number.

number>

Command mode: Global configuration

ssh scp-enable

Enables the SCP apply and save.

N8406-022 specifications

The NEC N8406-022 is a robust and versatile networking device designed primarily for organizations requiring high-performance connectivity solutions. As part of NEC's extensive portfolio of networking equipment, the N8406-022 is engineered to address the demands of modern enterprise environments, ensuring seamless communication and data processing capabilities.

One of the key features of the N8406-022 is its multi-layer switching functionality. This device supports Layer 2 and Layer 3 switching, allowing for efficient data routing and reducing latency within local area networks (LANs). This capability is particularly beneficial for businesses that rely on real-time data access and transfer, such as those in financial services, media, and telecommunications.

The N8406-022 is equipped with advanced Quality of Service (QoS) features that help prioritize critical network traffic. This means that voice and video data packets can be given precedence over less time-sensitive information, ensuring that essential communication remains clear and uninterrupted. This is crucial for organizations leveraging VoIP and video conferencing solutions.

In terms of connectivity, the NEC N8406-022 offers a variety of ports, including multiple Gigabit Ethernet ports, which facilitate high-speed data transfer and enable seamless integration into existing network infrastructures. The device may also include 10 Gigabit SFP+ ports, providing the flexibility for high-capacity uplinks to support bandwidth-intensive applications and storage solutions.

Security is another focal point of the NEC N8406-022, with integrated features such as VLAN support, access control lists (ACLs), and port security measures. These capabilities protect sensitive data from unauthorized access and ensure that only legitimate users and devices can connect to the network.

Moreover, the N8406-022 often incorporates advanced energy-efficient technologies that minimize power consumption without compromising performance. This not only contributes to operational cost savings but also supports organizations in their sustainability efforts.

With its combination of performance, security, and energy efficiency, the NEC N8406-022 stands out as a reliable networking solution suitable for a wide range of enterprises looking to enhance their connectivity and operational efficiency. Whether deployed in data centers or as part of a corporate network, this device is built to meet the evolving demands of today’s digital landscape.
