Setting Up Event Logs 10 - 11
Forwarding Logs to a Unix System (Syslog)
Use the syslog option to forward all logs printed on the Console (as
controlled by the printlevel option) to a Unix host running the Syslogd
deamon process. Enter the IP address of the Unix host. If the address
remains at the default of 0.0.0.0., logs will not be sent.
Packets received by the Syslogd daemon process are recorded in the
system log file on the Unix host. The logs are displayed on the Console
in addition to being forwarded to the Unix host. If the Aironet Wireless
Client should fail for any reason, the logs may still be viewed on the
Unix host.
The logs are sent using the syslog facility code “LOG_LOCAL0”. The
syslog priority depends on the priority of the log locally.
On the Unix host, the Syslogd deamon process will usually add the cur-
rent time and IP address of the unit that sent the log. The Aironet Wire-
less Client will pre-pend its own name to the log before it is sent.
A message similar to the following will appear on the host:
Jan 11 10:46:30 192.009.200.206 A630_10172c:
Node 0000c0d1587e 630 added for 004096104546
Enabling Indicator Status Locking (Lockled)
Use the lockled option to specify whether the status indicator light
remains amber or resets itself (after one second) when an event occurs.
This option can only be used if the ledlevel option set to activate when
an event log occurs.
