Saving the Events Log Automatically
You can configure any model of Bay Networks router to save the entire events log
automatically. The system saves the file just prior to overwriting the oldest
messages in the log. This feature helps to prevent the loss of event message
information accumulated in the log over time.
Withe the log autosave feature enabled, the system
• Saves the log the number of times you designate in MIB attribute
wfSerialPortEntry.wfSerialPortAutoSaveNumFiles (or until the memory card
or diskette drive becomes full)
• Saves the log to the memory card or diskette file system volume you designate
in MIB attribute wfSerialPortEntry.wfSerialPortAutoSaveVolume
• Saves the log to the file name auto<x>.log, where <x> is a value
from 1 to the maximum value you set for MIB attribute
wfSerialPortEntry.wfSerialPortAutoSaveNumFiles
Parameter: Maximum Autosaved Files
Attribute Name: wfSerialPortAutoSaveNumFiles

Function: Specifies the number of times the system automatically saves the events
log to a file system volume. The system saves the log the maximum

want to save the log to a new file.
