B Configuring Devices for Use With EPICenter
This appendix describes how to configure certain features on Extreme and third-party devices to enable
EPICenter features relative to those devices. It also includes information about configuring an external
RADIUS server for use with EPICenter. Topics include:
● Configuring EPICenter as a Syslog Receiver on page 195
● Setting EPICenter as a Trap Receiver on page 196
● The EPICenter Third-party Device Integration Framework on page 196
Configuring EPICenter as a Syslog Receiver
To receive Syslog messages, the Syslog receiver function of EPICenter must be enabled, and remote
logging must be enabled with EPICenter configured as a Syslog receiver on the devices from which you
want to receive Syslog messages.
The Syslog server function within EPICenter can be enabled through the Administration applet. See
“Server Properties Administration” in Chapter 15 of the EPICenter Reference Guide for more
information.
On the device side, remote logging must be enabled, and the switch must be configured to log to the
EPICenter server. The default on Extreme switches is for logging to be disabled. You must use the
EPICenter Telnet applet or the ExtremeWare CLI to configure your switches. To enable remote logging
on a switch, enter the ExtremeWare command:
enable syslog
To configure the EPICenter server as a Syslog server, enter the ExtremeWare command:
config syslog <EPICenter IP address> <facility>
You must enter the IP address of the EPICenter server, and a facility level, which can be local0
through
local7. See the ExtremeWare or ExtremeXOS documentation for more information on these
commands.
To configure remote logging on multiple devices, you can run these commands as a macro in the
EPICenter Telnet module.
You can also include a severity in the
config syslog command, which will filter log messages before
they are sent to the EPICenter Syslog server. The EPICenter Syslog server will in turn filter the incoming
messages based on the severity you set using the Accept SysLog messages with Min Severity property
setting in the Administration applet.
