Connectivity Guide

1. Enter LINE mode.
CONFIGURATION mode
line {console 0 | vty number [end-number] | aux 0}
Configure the following parameters for the virtual terminal lines:
● number: the range is from zero (0) to 8.
● end-number: the range is from 1 to 8.
You can configure multiple virtual terminals at one time by entering a number and an end-number.
2. Configure a level and set the maximum number of messages to print.
LINE mode
logging synchronous [level severity-level | all] [limit]
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.
The FTP and TFTP services are enhanced to support the VRF-aware functionality. 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.
