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.
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.
