13 Basic Administration Protocols
This chapter describes basic administration tasks including:
◆ Event Logging – Sets conditions for logging event messages to system memory
or flash memory, configures conditions for sending trap messages to remote
log servers, and configures trap reporting to remote hosts using Simple Mail
Transfer Protocol (SMTP).
◆ Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) – Configures advertisement of basic
information about the local switch, or discovery of information about
neighboring devices on the local broadcast domain.

– Sets the priority and power budget for each port.
◆ Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) – Configures switch
management through SNMPv1, SNMPv2c or SNMPv3.
◆ Remote Monitoring (RMON) – Configures local collection of detailed statistics
or events which can be subsequently retrieved through SNMP.
◆ Switch Clustering – Configures centralized management by a single unit over a
group of switches connected to the same local network
Configuring Event Logging
The switch allows you to control the logging of error messages, including the type
of events that are recorded in switch memory, logging to a remote System Log
(syslog) server, and displays a list of recent event messages.
System Log
Configuration
Use the Administration > Log > System (Configure Global) page to enable or
disable event logging, and specify which levels are logged to RAM or flash memory.
Severe error messages that are logged to flash memory are permanently stored in
the switch to assist in troubleshooting network problems. Up to 4096 log entries
can be stored in the flash memory, with the oldest entries being overwritten first
when the available log memory (256 kilobytes) has been exceeded.
