System Log
The Hotwire DSL Router can log significant system events (SYSLOG). The
SYSLOG can be maintained locally on the DSL router and can also be sent to a
remote SYSLOG server, preferably in the management domain. To activate:
H
The DSL router must be configured to enable the output of SYSLOG
messages via the
syslog enable command. (The Management Controller
Card (MCC) has SYSLOG always enabled.)
H
An IP address (loopback or remote) must be supplied.
H
The SYSLOG can also be captured by a remote SYSLOG server running the
UNIX daemon
syslogd or an equivalent program. It is necessary to know the
IP address where the syslogd resides and the UDP port number the syslogd
is using.
The advantage of using a remote SYSLOG server is that ALL events will be
maintained upon restart of the DSL router. The local SYSLOG is cleared
upon restart.
Events are classified by severity level and the system administrator can specify
the minimum severity to be logged.
show syslog
Displays the current status of system as enabled or disabled. If enabled, the severity
level, management IP address, and UDP port will be displayed.
syslog { enabled | disabled }
level { emer | err | norm | info }
management ip-addr x.x.x.x
port nnn
syslog { enable | disable }
Allows the user to enable or disable SYSLOG output. The SYSLOG IP address must be
entered (next command) and saved to complete enabling SYSLOG.
Minimum access level: Administrator/Config
enable – Enables SYSLOG output.
disable – Disables SYSLOG output.
syslog ip ip-addr
Specifies the IP address for the host to send system log entries to.
Minimum access level: Administrator/Config
ip-addr – The IP address for SYSLOG (typically loopback address of 127.0.0.1).
syslog port [ port-number ]
Specifies the UDP port number on the server to which the system events will be sent.
Minimum access level: Administrator/Config
port-number – The UDP port number. Default = 514.
