ES-2000 Series
REMOTE LOG
CONFIGURATION
Use the Administration > Log > Remote page to send log messages to
syslog servers or other management stations. You can also limit the event
messages sent to only those messages below a specified level.
PARAMETERS
These parameters are displayed:
◆ Remote Log Status – Enables/disables the logging of debug or error
messages to the remote logging process. (Default: Disabled)
◆ Logging Facility – Sets the facility type for remote logging of syslog
messages. There are eight facility types specified by values of 16 to 23.
The facility type is used by the syslog server to dispatch log messages
to an appropriate service.
The attribute specifies the facility type tag sent in syslog messages (see
RFC 3164). This type has no effect on the kind of messages reported by
the switch. However, it may be used by the syslog server to process
messages, such as sorting or storing messages in the corresponding
database. (Range: 16-23, Default: 23)
◆ Logging Trap Level – Limits log messages that are sent to the remote
syslog server for all levels up to the specified level. For example, if level
3 is specified, all messages from level 0 to level 3 will be sent to the
remote server. (Range: 0-7, Default: 7)
◆ Server IP Address – Specifies the IP address of a remote server
which will be sent syslog messages.
