System Event Log—Event Configuration
The checkboxes and pull-down menus are not available unless the Syslog Client Mode on the
Syslog Configuration tab and the E-mail Alert on the SMTP Configuration tab are enabled first.
This tab mainly controls whether an event notification is to be sent to the Syslog/SMTP server.
The part of System Event Selection controls the event notification including Device Cold Start,
Authentication Failure, and MAC Violation. With the Syslog/SMTP checkbox ticked, the event
log/email alert will be sent to the system log server/SMTP server respectively. As for the part of
Port Event Selection, port events (link up, link down, and both) can be sent to the system log
server/SMTP server by setting the trigger condition for each port respectively.
• System event selection: There are three event types—Device Cold Start, Authentication
Failure, and MAC Violation.
- Device Cold Start: Tick the Syslog/SMTP checkboxes respectively to have the
system issue the event log/email alert to the system log/SMTP server when the
device executes the cold start action.
- Authentication Failure: When the SNMP authentication fails, the system will issue
the event log/email alert to the system log/SMTP server respectively.
- MAC Violation: If a device whose MAC address is not in the MAC address table
attempts to access the port, the system will issue the event log/email alert to the
system log/SMTP server respectively. (Note that the Security property of the Port
Control function also has to be set at ‘On’. See the Port Control section for further
details.)
• Port event selection: Each drop-down menu has four options—Disable, Link UP, Link
Down, and Link UP & Link Down. Disable means no event will be sent to the system
log/SMTP server.
- Link UP: The system will issue a log message only when the link-up event of the
port occurs.
- Link Down: The system will issue a log message only when the link-down event of
port occurs.
- Link UP & Link Down: The system will issue a log message at the time when port
connection is link-up and link-down.
