16 Configuration Menu (CONFIG)
The Syslog menu provides commands to configure the syslog server settings.
See Appendix A: Event Messages on page 28 for a list of the available event messages.
Enabling and Disabling the Syslog Server (config/sys/syslog/enable)
This command enables and disables the syslog server. The default value is 2, which means the
feature is disabled.
To enable the syslog server:
1. From the Syslog Configuration menu (config/sys/syslog), type enable and press E
NTER.
2. Type 1 at the prompt and press E
NTER.
To disable the syslog server:
1. From the Syslog Configuration menu (config/sys/syslog), type enable and press E
NTER.
2. Enter 2 at the prompt and press E
NTER.
Configuring the IP Address for the Syslog Server (config/sys/syslog/syslogip)
This command configures the IP address for the syslog server. The default value is 0.0.0.0.
To configure the IP address of the syslog server:
1. From the Syslog Configuration menu (config/sys/syslog), type syslogip and press E
NTER.
2. Enter the IP address for the syslog server at the prompt and press E
NTER.
Configuring the Severity Threshold for the Syslog Server (config/sys/syslog/threshold)
This command configures the lowest severity level at which to send messages to the syslog server.
Any messages that are equal to or higher in severity than the specified severity level are sent to the
syslog server. For example, if the severity level for syslog reporting is designated as “alert,” then the
switch logs messages of the “alert” or the “emergency” severity level only—“emergency” is the only
severity level higher than “alert”. The default setting is 3 (“critical”).
To configure the severity threshold for the syslog server:
1. From the Syslog Configuration menu (config/sys/syslog), type threshold and press E
NTER.
2. Type the desired selection (1-7) and press ENTER.
