Administrator Guide

You can congure multiple virtual terminals at one time by entering a number and an end-number.
2. Congure a level and set the maximum number of messages to print.
LINE mode
logging synchronous [level severity-level | all] [limit]
Congure the following optional parameters:
• level severity-level: the range is from 0 to 7. The default is 2. Use the all keyword to include all messages.
• limit: the range is from 20 to 300. The default is 20.
To view the logging synchronous conguration, use the show config command in LINE mode.
Enabling Timestamp on Syslog Messages
By default, syslog messages do not include a time/date stamp stating when the error or message was created.
To enable timestamp, use the following command.
• Add timestamp to syslog messages.
CONFIGURATION mode
service timestamps [log | debug] [datetime [localtime] [msec] [show-timezone] | uptime]
Specify the following optional parameters:
– datetime: You can add the keyword localtime to include the localtime, msec, and show-timezone. If you do not
add the keyword localtime, the time is UTC.
– uptime: To view time since last boot.
If you do not specify a parameter, the system congures uptime.
To view the conguration, use the show running-config logging command in EXEC privilege mode.
To disable time stamping on syslog messages, use the no service timestamps [log | debug] command.
Enabling Secure Mode
The MXL Switch supports the secure management mode on Dell Networking OS. It is a congurable mode where the access of
Chassis Management Controller (CMC) to MXL is bypassed for the elements critical to the security certications. With this change,
CMC is not allowed to congure or view MXL networking information, upgrade MXL software, or view MXL conguration.
Use the conguration command,enable secure to put the switch into secure mode. For the changes to take eect, save the
conguration and then reboot the system. The switch automatically enters the secure mode following reboot. Check the status of
the switch, in the
.xml file that it generates during the bootup. The CMC reads the switch.xml le and sets the secure
status. It also disables the following process for the switch through CMC Command Line Interface (CLI) or Graphical user interface
(GUI):
• Connect to the MXL Switch.
• Firmware updates for the Switch.
• Setting or viewing network interface conguration like Internet Protocol (IP) address, network mask, gateway, and Dynamic Host
Conguration Protocol (DHCP).
Secure mode gives an option to view or modify conguration, or upgrade software on the MXL through the CLI (accessed via
console or Secure Shell (SSH)). CMC continues to have access to other properties like power status, system health. In secure mode,
the read/write operation for IP address-related information through the (Programmable System-on-Chip) PSoC interface is not
enabled in MXL.
