Connectivity Guide

Configure the following optional parameters:
● level severity-level: the range is from 0 to 7. The default is 2. Use the all keyword to include all messages.
● limit: the range is from 20 to 300. The default is 20.
To view the logging synchronous configuration, use the show config command in LINE mode.
Enabling Timestamp on Syslog Messages
By default, syslog messages include a time/date stamp, taken from the datetime, stating when the error or message was
created.
To enable timestamp, use the following command.
● Add timestamp to syslog messages.
CONFIGURATION mode
service timestamps [log | debug] [datetime [localtime] [msec] [show-timezone] | uptime]
Specify the following optional parameters:
○ localtime: You can add the keyword localtime to include the localtime, msec, and show-timezone. If you do
not add the keyword localtime, the time is UTC.
○ uptime: To view time since last boot.
○ datetime: To view the current date and time from the system BIOS.
If you do not specify a parameter, Dell EMC Networking OS configures datetime by default.
To view the configuration, use the show running-config logging command in EXEC privilege mode.
To disable time stamping on syslog messages, use the no service timestamps [log | debug] command.
File Transfer Services
With Dell EMC Networking OS, you can configure the system to transfer files over the network using the file transfer protocol
(FTP).
One FTP application is copying the system image files over an interface on to the system; however, FTP is not supported on
virtual local area network (VLAN) interfaces.
If you want the FTP or TFTP server to use a VRF table that is attached to an interface, you must configure the FTP or TFTP
server to use a specific routing table. You can use the ip ftp vrf vrf-name or ip tftp vrf vrf-name command to
inform the FTP or TFTP server to use a specific routing table. After you configure this setting, the VRF table is used to look
up the destination address. However, these changes are backward-compatible and do not affect existing behavior; meaning, you
can still use the source-interface command to communicate with a particular interface even if no VRF is configured on
that interface.
For more information about FTP, refer to RFC 959, File Transfer Protocol.
NOTE: To transmit large files, Dell EMC Networking recommends configuring the switch as an FTP server.
Configuration Task List for File Transfer Services
The configuration tasks for file transfer services are:
● Enable FTP Server (mandatory)
● Configure FTP Server Parameters (optional)
● Configure FTP Client Parameters (optional)
Enabling the FTP Server
To enable the system as an FTP server, use the following command.
To view FTP configuration, use the show running-config ftp command in EXEC privilege mode.
● Enable FTP on the system.
