10.3 The SpeedTouch™ Syslog
Syslog is a basic, uncomplicated, yet powerful method to administer a network
device as the SpeedTouch™. By generating syslog messages, the SpeedTouch™ is
able to inform network managers about the general state of the device and to
record events which can be retrieved for later analysis and diagnosis.
This chapter describes how to use the SpeedTouch™ Syslog deamon.
All syslog messages are compliant with Webtrend Extended Log Format (WELF)
formatting.
Next to Syslog the SpeedTouch™ supports SNMP for extended device
management.

SpeedTouch™ features an integrated real-time clock. This clock supports SNTP

relating NTP servers.
