CHAPTER 21
Monitoring
21.1 Overview
This chapter explains the logging and port statistics screens.
You can configure the Switch to save specific events in different log targets:
RAM - This log is saved into the Switch’s volatile memory. The logs are cleared
when the Switch is rebooted.
Flash - This log is saved into the switch’s non-volatile memory. You can view the
logs even after the switch is rebooted. Due to the space limitations on the switch
the oldest log entries are overwritten as new events are recorded.
Server - You can configure syslog servers to store system events from the Switch.
The Switch uses UDP protocol to send log messages to the remote servers. The
syslog servers must be Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD) syslog protocol
compliant.
