Configuration
The Invalid Access menus allow you to select the following:
• Lockout Enable: Enables/Disables the Invalid Access Lockout feature. (Default =
On.)
• Lockout Attempts: The number of invalid attempts required to activate the Invalid
Access Lockout feature. (Default = 9.)
• Lockout Duration: The length of time ports will remain locked when an Invalid
Access Lockout occurs. If the duration is set at "Infinite", then ports will remained
locked until the /UL command is issued. (Default = 30 Minutes.)
5.4.3. The Audit Log
This feature allows you to create a record of command activity at all RSM ports. Audit
Log records will include the time, date, username, and a brief description of each
logged event (e.g., Connect, Login, etc.) The Audit Log is enabled and configured via
the System Parameters Menus as described in Section 5.4.
The System Parameters Menus includes three different options for Audit Log
configuration; Off (Audit Log disabled), "On with Syslog" and "On without Syslog." When
"On with Syslog" is selected, each individual Audit Log record will be sent out to the
user-defined Syslog IP Address as a Syslog message at the time that it is generated.
The Syslog IP Address is defined via the Network Parameters Menu, as described in
Section 5.8.
To read or erase the Audit Log, access command mode (via the Text Interface,) using an
account and port that permit Supervisor commands, type /A s, press [Enter] (where
s is an optional text string that you wish to search for,) and follow the instructions in the
resulting submenu. When the s (search string) option is included, the /A command will
return only those records that match the selected search string.
Notes:
• The RSM dedicates a fixed amount of internal memory for Audit Log records,
and if log records are allowed to accumulate until this memory is filled,
memory will eventually "wrap around," and older records will be overwritten
by newer records.
• The Audit Log cannot be viewed via the Web Browser Interface.
• When the s option is used to search for all records that contain a specific text
string, the Delete function will still delete all Audit Log records; the Delete
function is not limited to the records that are currently displayed on screen.
