informational.

Figure 61 Network diagram

Configuration procedure

Before the configuration, make sure the device and the log host can reach each other. (Details not

shown.)

1.

Configure the device:
# Enable the information center.

system-view

[Device] info-center enable

# Specify the log host 1.2.0.1/16 and specify local4 as the logging facility.

[Device] info-center loghost 1.2.0.1 facility local4

# Disable log output to the log host.

[Device] info-center source default loghost deny

To avoid output of unnecessary information, disable all modules from outputting logs to the

specified destination (loghost in this example) before you configure an output rule.
# Configure an output rule to output to the log host FTP logs that have a severity level of at least

informational.

[Device] info-center source ftp loghost level informational

2.

Configure the log host:
The following configurations were performed on Solaris. Other UNIX operating systems have
similar configurations.

a.

Log in to the log host as a root user.

b.

Create a subdirectory named Device in directory /var/log/, and then create file info.log in the
Device directory to save logs from Device.

# mkdir /var/log/Device

# touch /var/log/Device/info.log

c.

Edit the file syslog.conf in directory /etc/ and add the following contents.

# Device configuration messages

local4.info /var/log/Device/info.log

In this configuration, local4 is the name of the logging facility that the log host uses to receive

logs. info is the informational level. The UNIX system records the log information that has a

severity level of at least informational to the file /var/log/Device/info.log.
