Specifying a SysLog 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-LX3800U
systems, 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 code.
To transmit the system events to a syslog server, perform the following
procedure:
1. From the Main Menu, select Administration.
The Administration menu is shown in Figure 13 on page 37.
2. From the Administration menu, select Syslog Server Address and
press Enter.
3. Enter the IP address of a syslog server on the network.
4. Select SysLog Facility Code.
Assign a facility code to the chassis log messages. The range is 0 to
23 and the default is 1. The facility code generally used for system
events is 23, or you can use whatever facility number you have already
set up on your network.
5. Type the facility code and press Enter.
6. Return to the Main Menu.
