Table 79 ARP Inspection Configure (continued)

 

LABEL

DESCRIPTION

 

 

Log buffer size

Enter the maximum number (0-1024) of log messages that were

 

 

 

generated by ARP packets and have not been sent to the syslog

 

 

 

server yet. Make sure this number is appropriate for the specified

 

 

 

Syslog rate and Log interval.

 

 

 

If the number of log messages in the Switch exceeds this

 

 

 

number, the Switch stops recording log messages and simply

 

 

 

starts counting the number of entries that were dropped due to

 

 

 

unavailable buffer. Click Clearing log status table in the ARP

 

 

 

Inspection Log Status screen to clear the log and reset this

 

 

 

counter. See Section 24.6.2 on page 224.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Syslog rate

Type the maximum number of syslog messages generated by

 

 

 

ARP packets the Switch can send to the syslog server in one

 

 

 

batch. This number is expressed as a rate because the batch

 

 

 

frequency is determined by the Log Interval. You must

 

 

 

configure the syslog server (Chapter 34 on page 301) to use this

 

 

 

setting. Enter “0” if you do not want the Switch to send log

 

 

 

messages generated by ARP packets to the syslog server.

 

 

 

The Syslog rate and Log interval settings interact. If the

 

 

 

Syslog rate number X is greater than Log interval seconds Y, X

 

 

 

divided by Y system messages are sent every second. Otherwise,

 

 

 

one message is sent every Y divided by X seconds. For example:

 

 

 

• If the Syslog rate is 5 and the Log interval value is 2, two

 

 

 

messages are sent every second.

 

 

 

• If the Syslog rate is 3 and the Log interval value is 6, one

 

 

 

message is sent every two seconds.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Log interval

Type how often (0-86400 seconds) the Switch sends a batch of

 

 

 

syslog messages to the syslog server. Enter 0 if you want the

 

 

 

Switch to send syslog messages immediately. See Syslog rate

 

 

 

for information on the relationship between Syslog rate and Log

 

 

 

interval.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Apply

Click Apply to save your changes to the Switch’s run-time

 

 

 

memory. The Switch loses these changes if it is turned off or

 

 

 

loses power, so use the Save link on the top navigation panel to

 

 

 

save your changes to the non-volatile memory when you are

 

 

 

done configuring.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Cancel

Click this to reset the values in this screen to their last-saved

 

 

 

values.
