System Logging Mechanism - Brocade Communications Systems RFS6000 System Reference Manual

System Logging Mechanism

The Brocade RF Series Switch provides subsystem logging to a Syslog server. There are two Syslog
systems, local and remote. Local Syslog records system information locally, on the switch. The
remote Syslog sends messages to a remote host. All Syslog messages conform to the RFC 3164
message format.

clients through CLI or Web UI can do this.

Additional Configuration

Ping from the client system which has the MIB Browser.
Check if the community string is the same at the agent side and the manager (MIB Browser)
side. The community name is case sensitive.
