Deployment Guide

1. On the switch, enable the SSH server
DellEMC(conf)#ip ssh server enable
2. On the syslog server, create a reverse SSH tunnel from the syslog server to the Dell OS switch, using following syntax:
ssh -R <remote port>:<syslog server>:<syslog server listen port> user@remote_host -nNf
In the following example the syslog server IP address is 10.156.166.48 and the listening port is 5141. The switch IP
address is 10.16.131.141 and the listening port is 5140
ssh -R 5140:10.156.166.48:5141 admin@10.16.131.141 -nNf
3. Configure logging to a local host. locahost is “127.0.0.1” or “::1”.
If you do not, the system displays an error when you attempt to enable role-based only AAA authorization.
DellEMC(conf)# logging localhost tcp port
DellEMC(conf)#logging 127.0.0.1 tcp 5140
Log Messages in the Internal Buffer
All error messages, except those beginning with %BOOTUP (Message), are log in the internal buffer.
For example, %BOOTUP:RPM0:CP %PORTPIPE-INIT-SUCCESS: Portpipe 0 enabled
