Syslog Trap Support
This section describes the Syslog Trap Support available for the Cisco Router.
The System Message Log (syslog) protocol is used
to send text messages from a Cisco Router to the
Network Management Software. These messages
are sent to the SPECTRUM Event Manager as
SNMP traps. Syslog trap support allows the
router device to identify these messages and
escalate them to alarms as necessary. Syslog trap
support also provides the Cisco Router model icon
the capability to communicate model alarm
severity information. When an alarm occurs, as
indicated by the Cisco Router device icon, you will
be able to observe the SPECTRUM Alarm Severity
and a Syslog message will appear in the Alarm log
(which can be found in the Alarm Manager View).
These Syslog messages are classified by severities
that range from 0 to 7 (most severe to least
severe). These messages are described in Table 17
The alarms are displayed in the Alarm Log. As
these alarms are associated with the Cisco Router
device model, the model icon will change color
and flash depending on the severity of the alarm
that it receives.
