Reference Guide
– 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 configuration, 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:
– 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, FTOS configures uptime.
To view the configuration, 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.
File Transfer Services
With FTOS, you can configure the system to transfer files over the network using the file transfer protocol (FTP).
One FTP application is copying the system image files over an interface on to the system; however, FTP is not supported
on virtual local area network (VLAN) interfaces.
For more information about FTP, refer to RFC 959,
File Transfer Protocol
.
NOTE: To transmit large files, Dell Networking recommends configuring the switch as an FTP server.
Configuration Task List for File Transfer Services
The configuration tasks for file transfer services are:
• Enable FTP Server (mandatory)
• Configure FTP Server Parameters (optional)
• Configure FTP Client Parameters (optional)
Enabling the FTP Server
To enable the system as an FTP server, use the following command.
To view FTP configuration, use the show running-config ftp command in EXEC privilege mode.
• Enable FTP on the system.
