• limit: the range is from 20 to 300. The default is 20.
To view the logging synchronous configuration, use the show config command in LINE mode.

Enabling Timestamp on Syslog Messages

By default, syslog messages do not include a time/date stamp stating when the error or message was created.
To enable timestamp, use the following command.
• Add timestamp to syslog messages.
CONFIGURATION mode
service timestamps [log | debug] [datetime [localtime] [msec] [show-timezone] | uptime]
Specify the following optional parameters:
• You can add the keyword localtime to include the localtime, msec, and show-timezone. If you do not add the keyword
localtime, the time is UTC.
• uptime: To view time since last boot.
If you do not specify a parameter, Dell Networking OS configures uptime.
To view the configuration, use the show running-config logging command in EXEC privilege mode.
To disable time stamping on syslog messages, use the no service timestamps [log | debug] command.

File Transfer Services

With Dell Networking OS, you can configure the system to transfer files over the network using the file transfer protocol (FTP).
One FTP application is copying the system image files over an interface on to the system; however, FTP is not supported on virtual local
area network (VLAN) interfaces.
If you want the FTP or TFTP server to use a VRF table that is attached to an interface, you must configure the FTP or TFTP server to use
a specific routing table. You can use the ip ftp vrf vrf-name or ip tftp vrf vrf-name command to inform the FTP or TFTP
server to use a specific routing table. After you configure this setting, the VRF table is used to look up the destination address. However,
these changes are backward-compatible and do not affect existing behavior; meaning, you can still use the source-interface
command to communicate with a particular interface even if no VRF is configured on that interface.
For more information about FTP, refer to RFC 959, File Transfer Protocol.
NOTE: To transmit large files, Dell Networking recommends configuring the switch as an FTP
server.
