In addition to maintaining an internal log, the BlackDiamond supports remote logging
by way of the UNIX syslog host facility. To enable remote logging, do the following:
• Configure the syslog host to accept and log messages.
• Enable remote logging by using the following command:
enable syslog
• Configure remote logging by using the following command:
config syslog <ipaddress> <facility> {<priority>} {<subsystem>}
Specify the following:
•
ipaddress
— The IP address of the syslog host.
•
facility
— The syslog facility level for local use. Options include
local0
through
local7
.
•
priority
— Filters the log to display message with the selected priority or higher
(more critical). Priorities include critical, warning, and informational. If not specified,
only critical priority messages are sent to the syslog host.
•
subsystem
— Filters the log to display messages associated with the selected
subsystem. Subsystems include Syst, STP Brdg, SNMP, Telnet, VLAN, and Port. If
not specified, all subsystems are sent to the syslog host.
Refer to your UNIX documentation for more information about the syslog host
