9.2.1 Syslog Servers
Users can use the provided Syslog server (ACSyslog08.exe) or other third-party Syslog servers.
Examples of Syslog servers available as shareware on the Internet:
• Kiwi Enterprises: http://www.kiwisyslog.com/
• The US CMS Server: http://uscms.fnal.gov/hanlon/uscms_server/
• TriAction Software: http://www.triaction.nl/Products/SyslogDaemon.asp
• Netal SL4NT 2.1 Syslog Daemon: http://www.netal.com
A typical Syslog server application enables filtering of the messages according to priority, IP
sender address, time, date, etc.
9.2.2 Operation
9.2.2.1 Sending the Syslog Messages
The Syslog client, embedded in the firmware of the Mediant 2000, sends error reports/events
generated by the Mediant 2000 unit application to a Syslog server, using IP/UDP protocol.
9.2.2.2 Setting the Syslog Server
To set the Syslog server:
• Use the Mediant 2000 Embedded Web Server (Advanced Configuration>Network
Settings>screen section Syslog Settings) to enable the Syslog Server (Enable Syslog) and
to enter its IP address (Syslog Server IP address); refer to
Figure 9-1 below.
Figure 9-1: Setting the Syslog Server IP Address
• Alternately, use the Embedded Web Server or the BootP/TFTP utility to load the ini
configuration file containing both the IP address and the enabling parameters:
SyslogServerIP and EnableSyslog respectively. For detailed information on the BootP/TFTP
utility, refer to
Appendix B on page 189 . For an ini file example showing these parameters,
refer to Section 9.2.2.3 and to Figure 9-2 under it.
