Configuring Message Logging and Severity Level
XSR Getting Started Guide 3-17
Groups offer users authorization choices and read/write privileges.
6. Optional. For SNMPv3, enter snmp-server view <name> {oid-tree | treeEntryName}{included |
excluded} to specify a view.
Views offer users selective access to the family tree or Object IDs.
7. Optional. For SNMPv3, enter snmp-server user <username> <group name> v3
[encrypted][auth {md5 | sha} auth-password [priv des56 priv-password]]} to add a user.
Users can have different levels of encryption and passwords. Remember to save your
configuration after all edits. Refer to the User’s Guide and CLI Reference Guide for more
information.
Configuring Message Logging and Severity Level
1. Enter logging <console | buffer | monitor | snmp | A.B.C.D | file> <high | medium | low |
debug> to direct where error messages are sent and what degree of severity they will reflect.
Messages stored to buffer are saved to the XSR’s RAM, those stored to monitor are displayed on
active Telnet CLI sessions, those stored to A.B.C.D. are saved in the IP address of the
associated SYSLOG server. Refer to the XSR CLI Reference and User Guide for more
information about severity levels.
Typically, only HIGH severity alarms are logged to red flag critical events and those requiring
operator intervention. Also, the DEBUG alarm level is meant for maintenance personnel only.
The XSR may discard LOW and DEBUG level alarms if the system is too occupied to deliver
them. The number of discarded messages is displayed by the following line in
show logging
command output:
Discards: high=0 medium=0 low=4 debug=22
2. Enter show logging to verify the logging configuration.
When the XSR has been up and running for a while more data will be shown in this display.
For a detailed list of most alarms and events generated by the router, refer to the XSR User
Guide. Remember to save your configuration after all edits.
Viewing Your Configuration
1. Enter show running-config to verify your current configuration.
The XSR will display the commands you issued up to this point. Default values are not
displayed.
Note: Because only one operator can set the XSR at any time, you must exit Global mode to
perform SNMPv3 configuration. Otherwise, the SNMP set request will fail with the “resource
unavailable” message. This rule applies to configuration values, not image downloads.
Note: To restart the XSR using NetSight or SNMP management programs, you must enter the
snmp-server system-shutdown command.
Note: All show commands can be entered in privileged EXEC mode - XSR# - or Global
configuration mode - XSR(config)#.
