2. If required, click on the check box for System Log to enable system logging.
When system logging is enabled, the standard SYSLOG protocol (UDP) is used
to send all message logs generated by the HSG to the specified SYSLOG server.
3. Enter a unique number (between 0 and 7) in the System Log Number field. This
ID number is assigned to the System Log Server.
4. Enter a valid IP address in the System Log Server IP field.
5. If required, repeat Steps 2 through 4 for the AAA Log feature.
6. Setting a Log Filter: The syslogs can be filtered at 7 levels as shown above.
Setting the level to a number disables any syslogs above that filter setting. For
e.g. setting the filter to 2:Critical only generates 0:Emergency, 1:Alert and
2:Critical level syslogs. All other syslogs are not generated.
7. Log save to file Setting: This setting enables/disables saving of syslogs
generated by the system to a file named “syslog.txt” in the /flash directory of the
NSE. This setting abides by the other settings set for the syslogs like filters,
number and enable/disable.
It is not required to input a server IP address if you intend to only store the
syslogs locally. Please leave the IP address field blank for such cases.
