Appendix A:Troubleshooting a WSS 769

Nortel WLAN—Security Switch 2300 Series Configuration Guide
If you do not type the command before the reset cycle is complete, the WSS returns to the state it was in before you
restarted it.
Once you have entered the command, the WSS returns to its initial unconfigured state. For information on how to
configure the WSS, see “First-time configuration via the console” on page 77.
For model 2382, 2360/2361, you also can reconfigure basic parameters using the Web Quick Start. Use a web browser to

Configuring and managing the system log

System logs provide information about system events that you can use to monitor and troubleshoot WSS Software.
Event messages for the WSS and its attached APs can be stored or sent to the following destinations:
Stored in a local buffer on the WSS
Displayed on the WSS console port
Displayed in an active Telnet session
Sent to one or more syslog servers, as specified in RFC 3164
The system log is a file in which the newest record replaces the oldest. These entries are preserved in nonvolatile
memory through system reboots.
Caution! Use an enable password that you will remember. If you lose the password, the
only way to restore it causes the system to return to its default settings and wipes out the
configuration.
