Enabling or disabling FFDC

First failure data capture (FFDC) is enabled by default.

To re-enable FFDC in the VCS Fabric mode, perform the following steps.

1. Issue the RPC to configure the node in the

urn:brocade.com:mgmt:brocade-ras namespace.

2. Under the node, include the node element.

3. Under the node, include the following leaf elements.

a. In the element, specify the switch on which you want to enable FFDC.

b. Include the empty element to enable FFDC on the routing bridge.

The following example enables FFDC on routing bridge 56.

To enable FFDC in standalone mode, include the empty leaf element directly under the
node.

To disable FFDC, use the same RPC, but include the delete operation in the leading tag of the
node element.

Syslog server setup

The system logging daemon (syslogd) is an IP-based service for logging system messages. The
syslog daemon is part of the UNIX and Linux operating systems. It is available as a third-party
application for Windows operating systems.

You can configure your switch to forward system events and error messages securely or
non-securely to log files on a remote server. The server can be running UNIX, Linux, or any other
operating system that supports the standard syslogd functionality.

Secure syslog sends log messages securely over the network using the Transport Layer Security
(TLS) protocol. TLS is an encryption protocol over the TCP/IP network protocol, so it can be used
only with TCP-based destinations.
