2.2.6 Using a Syslog Server

Syslog is a standard for logging program messages and is now standardized within the Syslog working group

of the IETF. Syslog allows separation of the software that generates messages from the system that stores them

and the software that reports and analyzes them.

Syslog, in the FRM220-NMC, can be used for security auditing (login) as well as generalized informational (link

down), analysis, and debugging (loop back) messages. The syslog function of the FRM220-NMC can be used to

integrate log data into a central repository.

Messages are assigned a priority/level (Emergency, Alert, Critical, Error, Warning, Notice, Info or Debug) by

the FRM220-NMC and then sent to syslog server.

The syslog messages are sent to a syslog server via TCP/IP. Therefore, we must configure in the FRM220-

NMC, the destination address for syslog messages.

From the Main Menu, select the <M> (SNMP Manager Configuration Setup) and from this menu select <X>

(Syslog Server Settings).
