Configuring and Managing Routers with Site Manager

Audit Trail Feature for Remote and Dynamic Mode
The Audit Trail feature keeps track of router configuration changes made in
remote mode or dynamic mode only. The feature does not track changes made in
local mode or those made using the Technician Interface. You must always enable
the audit trail feature before it can track changes.
If you configure the router in remote mode, Site Manager does the following:
• Transfers the configuration file to the router
• Creates the audit trail log file (if it does not already exist)
• Appends the configuration changes to the audit trail log
If you configure the router in dynamic mode, Site Manager does the following
each time an SNMP SET occurs:
• Updates the configuration on the router
• Logs changes to a MIB object in the audit trail log, which is created if it does
not already exist, and appends the changes to the file
Viewing an Audit Trail Log File
After Site Manager creates an audit trail log and appends information to it, you
can open the log file, audit.cfg, using any standard text editor. You can also print
the file.
