Enabling Time Stamps on Syslog Messages
By default, syslog messages do not include a time/date stamp stating when the error or message was
created.
To have FTOS include a timestamp with the syslog message, use the following command syntax in
CONFIGURATION mode:
To view the configuration, enter the
show running-config logging command in EXEC privilege mode.
To disable time stamping on syslog messages, enter the
no service timestamps [log | debug] command.
File Transfer Services
With FTOS, you can configure the system to transfer files over the network using file transfer protocol
(FTP). One FTP application copies the system image files over an interface on to the system; however,
FTP is not supported on VLAN interfaces.
For more information about FTP, refer to RFC 959, File Transfer Protocol.
Configuration Task List for File Transfer Services
The following list includes the configuration tasks for file transfer services:
• Enabling the FTP Server (mandatory)
• Configuring the FTP Server Parameters (optional)
For a complete listing of FTP related commands, refer to RFC 959, File Transfer Protocol.
Command Syntax Command Mode Purpose
service timestamps [log | debug] [datetime
[localtime] [msec] [show-timezone] | uptime]
CONFIGURATION Add timestamp to syslog messages. 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 neither parameter is specified, FTOS
configures uptime.
