AG 5500
44 Installing the AG 5500
Enabling the Logging Options (recommended)
System logging creates log files and error messages generated at the system level. AAA
logging creates activity log files for the AAA (Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting)
functions. You can enable either of these options.
When system logging is enabled, the standard SYSLOG protocol (UDP) is used to send all
message logs generated by the AG 5500 to the specified server.
1. Enter log (logging) at the Configuration menu. The system displays the current logging
status (enabled or disabled).
2. Enable or disable the system and/or AAA logging options, as required.
If you enable either option, go to Step 3, otherwise logging is disabled and you can
terminate this procedure.
3. Assign a valid ID number (0-7) to each server.
4. Enter the IP addresses to identify the location of the system and AAA SYSLOG servers on
the network (the default for both is 0.0.0.0).
When logging is enabled, log files and error messages are sent to these servers for future
retrieval. To see sample reports, go to “Sample SYSLOG Report” on page 270 and
“Sample AAA Log” on page 269.

Although the AAA and billing logs can go to the same server, we recommend that
they have their own unique server ID number assigned (between 0 and 7). When
managing multiple properties, the properties are identified in the log files by their
IP addresses.
