Configuration Guide
2) Use the UNIX workstation at 202.38.1.10 as the loghost and set the severity
threshold to informational and output language to English, and allow PPP and IP
modules to output information using the UNIX device local4.
[3Com] info-center loghost 202.38.1.10 language english
[3Com] info-center loghost 202.38.1.10 facility local4
[3Com] info-center source ppp channel loghost log level informational
[3Com] info-center source ip channel loghost log level informational
Step 2: Configure the loghost
To implement the above functions, some configurations should also be made on the
UNIX host. The configuration procedure described below is completed on SunOS 4.0
and the similar procedure is followed if the UNIX OS of some other vendor is adopted.
3) Execute the following commands as the root user.
#mkdir
#touch
4) Edit the file /etc/syslog.conf and add the following selector/action pairs as the root.
# 3Com configuration messages
local4.info
Note:
When editing the file /etc/syslog.conf, you should note that:
Remarks must be in independent lines and begin with the character #.
Use a tab rather than a space as the delimiter between selector/action pairs.
Do not leave unwanted space behind a file name.
The device name and the permitted log information level specified in /etc/syslog.conf
should keep in consistence with the info-center loghost and info-center loghost
a.b.c.d facility that have been configured on the router, in case of the incorrect output of
log information to the loghost.
After the log files 'config' has been established and the file "/etc/syslog.conf" has been
modified, the following command should be executed to send a HUP signal to the
system daemon 'syslogd' to have it reread its configuration file "/etc/syslog.conf".
#ps -ae | grep syslogd
147
#kill -HUP 147
Upon completion of the above operations, the router can output the related information
to the corresponding log files.
The configuration made above permits outputting informational and higher level system
information only, that is, information with severity levels 0 through 6, to the log host.
