System Logging Configuration
System messages can saved (logged) on the Wi-Fi AP/Bridge and on a remote device.
Local Logging: Select ENABLED to save system messages in dynamic memory on the
Wi-Fi AP/Bridge. The logged events can be viewed through the command line interface
(CLI) using the show logging command. The log file is cleared any time the Wi-Fi
AP/Bridge is rebooted. The default is DISABLED; displaying system messages on this
web page but not saving them in the Wi-Fi AP/Bridge.
Remote Logging: Select ENABLED to send system messages to a remote host located at
the IP address entered in the box next to this field. The remote host must first be
configured to accept remote logging (syslogd -r at a minimum).
Commit: Select this field to put these settings into effect.
Monitoring>SNMP Monitoring
Simple network management protocols (SNMP) use pre-defined sets of data for the Wi-Fi
AP/Bridge called a management information base (MIB) to monitor network operations. The MIBs
are defined in a way that allows third-party developers of network monitoring software to use them
with their products. The Vivato Wi-Fi AP/Bridge has its own MIB, and also supports several
industry standard MIBs. Refer to "Network Monitoring" on page 145 for more operation on using
SNMP with the Vivato Wi-Fi AP/Bridge.
The Vivato Wi-Fi AP/Bridge supports SNMP versions 1, 2c, and 3. Some configuration settings are
only used by a specific SNMP version. These settings are separated on the configuration web pages.
