Sending the
System Log to a
Remote Server
The syslog protocol allows you to collect messages and events produced
by a wide variety of network equipment in a single place. For instance,
instead of viewing the event logs of several separate AT-8000/8POE Fast
Ethernet switches, you can have those events sent to a single syslog
server on your network. The destination for the events is referred to as a
facility.
To transmit the system events to a syslog server, perform the following
procedure:
1. From the Main Menu, type T to select Switch Tools.
The Switch Tools Configuration Menu is shown in Figure 11 on page
50.
2. From the Switch Tools Configuration Menu, type S to select Remote
System Log.
The Remote System Log Menu is shown in Figure 16.
