Clearing the Fault LED

1. Click Clear Fault LED.
A message box is displayed confirming the request.
2. Click OK to clear the Fault LED.
The switch’s Fault LED should turn off.
Saving the Event Log
To export the event log to the host system:
1. Click Save event log file to host.
The event log is displayed in the host system’s default text editor.
2. You can then select the appropriate directory to save the event log messages, change the
name of the file (if desired), and save the event log.
Configuring the Syslog Server
The switch can communicate with a syslog server that monitors switch events.
To configure the syslog server:
1. In the IP Address text box, enter the IP address for the syslog server.
2. From the Threshold drop-down menu, select the minimum severity level at which an event
message will be sent to the syslog server.
Any messages that are equal to or higher in severity than the specified severity level are sent
to the syslog server. For example, if the severity level for syslog reporting is designated as
“alert,” then the switch logs messages of the “alert” or the “emergency” severity level
only—“emergency” is the only severity level higher than “alert”. The default setting is “critical”.
3. From the Facility drop-down menu, select the reporting group to send to the syslog server.
The default setting is 1 (“userLevelMessages”).
