Chapter 1: Product description
System logging (syslog)
PTP 650 supports the standard syslog protocol to log important configuration changes, status
changes and events. The protocol complies with RFC 3164.
PTP 650 creates syslog messages for configuration changes to any attribute that is accessible via
the web-based interface, or via the enterprise MIB at the SNMP interface.
PTP 650 additionally creates syslog messages for changes in any status variable displayed in the
web-based interface.
PTP 650 creates syslog messages on a number of events (for example successful and unsuccessful
attempts to log in to the web-based interface).
PTP 650 can be configured to send syslog messages to one or two standard syslog servers.
Additionally, PTP 650 logs event notification messages locally. Locally-stored event messages
survive reboot of the unit, and are overwritten only when the storage capacity is exhausted
(approximately 2000 messages). The locally stored events can be reviewed using the web-based
user interface.
Only users with Security Officer role are permitted to configure the syslog client. Users with
Security Officer, System Administrator or Read Only roles are permitted to review the locally
logged event messages.
AES license
PTP 650 provides optional encryption using the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES). Encryption
is not available in the standard PTP 650 system.
AES upgrades are supplied as an access key purchased from your Cambium Point-to-Point
distributor or solutions provider. The access key authorizes AES operation for one ODU. Two
access keys are needed to operate AES on a link. The upgrade is applied by entering an access key
together with the MAC address of the target ODU into the PTP License Key Generator web page,
which may be accessed from the support website.
The License Key Generator creates a new license key that is delivered by email. The license key
must be installed on the ODU. When the license key is installed, the ODU must be rebooted before
AES can be enabled. Once applied, the AES upgrade is bound to a single ODU and is not
transferrable.
AES encryption may be used in the following ways:
•
At the wireless port to encrypt data transmitted over the wireless link.
•
At the SNMP management interface in the SNMPv3 mode.
•
At the HTTPS/TLS management interface.
•
At the RADIUS interface when PEAP (MS-CHAPv2) is used as the authentication method.
