Be sure your UNIX syslogd daemon accepts remote reception (network
messages). Some processes might need to be killed and restarted with a -r option.
Using the man syslog command to view the online UNIX manuals for
information about the SYSLOG daemon.
Using SYSLOG from a UNIX Machine
To use SYSLOG, simply enter the following at your CBOS prompt:
set syslog remote ip address of remote server
Attention Windows NT and Windows 95/98 Users
Windows does not have a SYSLOG server. If you want to utilize SYSLOG on a
Windows 95, Windows 98, or Windows NT system, you must install a SYSLOG
server from a third-party vendor onto your system. One way to locate a SYSLOG
server is to use an Internet search engine to locate a vendor who sells a SYSLOG
server. Some SYSLOG servers are provided as share or freeware on the Internet.
Cisco has proven compatibility with the following third-party products:
• Sun Solaris 2.5
• Linux 2.0.27
• NTSyslog (shareware program)
For more information on SYSLOG commands, see the Cisco Broadband
Operating System User Guide.
Telnet
Telnet provides a command-line interface and is used as a means of providing
remote login connections between machines on many networks, including the
Internet.
Caution Before closing a Telnet connection, always enter exit or quit at the
cbos# prompt.
