Sending System Messages to a Syslog Server

To send system messages to a specified syslog server, use the following command. The following syslog

standards are supported: RFC 5424 The SYSLOG Protocol, R.Gerhards and Adiscon GmbH, March 2009,

obsoletes RFC 3164 and RFC 5426 Transmission of Syslog Messages over UDP.

• Specify the server to which you want to send system messages. You can configure up to eight syslog

servers.

CONFIGURATION mode

logging {ip-address | ipv6-address | hostname} {{udp {port}} | {tcp {port}}}

You can export system logs to an external server that is connected through a different VRF.

Track Login Activity

Dell Networking OS enables you to track the login activity of users and view the successful and

unsuccessful login events.

When you log in using the console or VTY line, the system displays the last successful login details of the

current user and the number of unsuccessful login attempts since your last successful login to the

system. The system stores the number of unsuccessful login attempts that have occurred in the last 30

days by default. You can change the default value to any number of days from 1 to 30. By default, login

activity tracking is disabled. You can enable it using the login statistics enable command from

the configuration mode.

Restrictions for Tracking Login Activity

These restrictions apply for tracking login activity:

• Only the system and security administrators can configure login activity tracking and view the login

activity details of other users.

• Login statistics is not applicable for login sessions that do not use user names for authentication. For

example, the system does not report login activity for a telnet session that prompts only a password.
