Remote Logging; Configuring Remote Logging With The Cli - Nortel 5510 Configuration

20 Chapter 1 General System Monitoring Considerations

Remote logging

The remote logging feature in Software Release 5.0 provides an enhanced
level of logging by replicating system messages on a syslog server. System
log messages from several switches can be collected at a central location,
alleviating the network manager from querying each switch individually
to interrogate the log files.
The remote syslog server must be configured and set up on the unit to log
informational messages to this remote server. The UDP packet is sent to
port 514 of the configured remote syslog server.
Once the IP address is in the system, syslog messages can be sent to the
remote syslog server. If a syslog message is generated prior to capturing
the IP address of the server, the system stores up to 10 messages that are
sent once the IP address of the remote server is on the system.
This feature can be configured by enabling remote logging, specifying the
IP address of the remote syslog server, and specifying the severity level of
the messages to be sent to the remote server.
