Buffering
Selecting Configuration>Serial/AUX>Physical Ports in Expert Mode,
selecting one or more serial ports, and then selecting the Data Buffering tab,
brings up a screen like the one shown in the following figure.
Figure 6-29:Web Manager Serial/AUX>Physical Ports>Data Buffering
Screen
An administrative user can select one or more serial ports and then use this
screen to configure data buffering for the selected port(s).
This screen displays different fields depending on whether one or both
checkboxes are checked. The screen shown in the previous figure displays
only the “Enable Data Buffering” and “Buffer to Syslog” items with adjacent
checkboxes not checked.
If “Enable Data Buffering” is checked, the screen displays different fields
depending on whether “Local” or “Remote” are selected from the
“Destination” menu.
If “Buffer to Syslog” is checked, data buffer files are sent to the syslog server.
The syslog server must be previously configured. Get the IP address of the
syslog server from the server’s administrator, and make sure the syslog server
has been configured as described under “To Add a Syslog Server [Wizard]”
on page 126.
The following screen shows both checkboxes (“Enable Data Buffering” and
“Buffer to Syslog”) and the “Local” destination selected.
