5.3 Logging
A log file can be updated on the authentication host to
record when an IOLAN+ is powered up, rebooted, and users
and ports are connected and disconnected. This information
is of particular importance to administrators who need to
record users logging in and out. In addition, when the
logger is enabled IOLAN+ completes a time stamp every
5 minutes to record that an IOLAN+ is still active. This
allows an administrator to gain an accurate record of events.
See Figure 18 for the
Host Authentication And Logging
menu
(via the
Access
section of the
Administration Menu
).
When the IOLAN+ is powered up a Telnet connection is
established to the authentication host with the Logger user
name. The IOLAN+ records users logging in and out of the
log file
access.log
. The logger only connects at IOLAN+
start-up time and the connection stays open until the unit is
reset. The IOLAN+
checks the log TCP connection every 60
seconds. The logger may be restarted via the
kill
command
by adding two to the number of ports on your server (i.e. use
four for an IOLAN+2, six for an IOLAN+4, ten for an
IOLAN+8, eighteen for an IOLAN+16). If the host
authentication succeeds, but logger fails to log events, then
the port connection is dropped.
