Port Mirroring Commands; Port Statistics; System Logs; Remote Logging - Avaya 3500 Series Troubleshooting Manual

Troubleshooting fundamentals

Port mirroring commands

See Avaya Ethernet Routing Switch 3500 Series-Configuration — System Monitoring,
NN47203–501 for port mirroring command information. Use the port mirroring commands to
assist in diagnostics and information gathering.

Port statistics

Use port statistics commands to display information on received and transmitted packets at
the ports. The ingress and egress counts occur at the MAC layer.
For more information regarding port statistics and commands, see Avaya Ethernet Routing
Switch 3500 Series-Configuration — System Monitoring, NN47203–501.

System logs

You can use the syslog messaging feature of the Ethernet Routing Switch 3500 Series products
to manage event messages. The syslog software on the 3500 Series switch communicates
with a server software component called syslogd that resides on your management
workstation.
The daemon syslogd is a software component that receives and locally logs, displays, prints,
or forwards messages that originate from sources that are internal and external to the
workstation. For example, syslogd software concurrently handles messages received from
applications running on the workstation, as well as messages received from an Ethernet
Routing Switch 3500 Series device running in a network accessible to the workstation.
For more information about system logging, see Avaya Ethernet Routing Switch 3500 Series-
Configuration — System Monitoring, NN47203–501.

Remote logging

As part of configuring system logging, you can specify remote logging parameters. This
involves configuring a remote syslog address, enabling remote logging and configuring the
remote logging level.
For more information, see Avaya Ethernet Routing Switch 3500 Series - Configuration —
System Monitoring, NN47203–501.
