Configuring Debug Destinations
A Debug/Syslog destination device can be a Syslog server (up to six maximum)
and/or a console session:
Use the debug destination < logging | session | buffer > command to enable
■
(and disable) Syslog messaging on a Syslog server or to a CLI session for
the debug message types configured with the debug and logging com-
mands (see "Configuring Debug and Event Log Messaging" on page 4-11):
•
debug destination logging enables the configured debug message types
to be sent to Syslog servers configured with the logging command.
debug destination session enables the configured debug message types
•
to be sent to the CLI session that executed this command. The session
can be on any one terminal emulation device with serial, Telnet, or
SSH access to the CLI at the Manager level prompt.
•
debug destination buffer enables the configured debug message types
to be sent to a buffer in switch memory.
Use the logging < syslog-ipv6-addr > command to configure the Syslog
■
server at the specified IPv6 destination address.
Configuring an IPv6 Syslog Server
Syslog for IPv6 is a client-server logging tool that allows a client switch to send
event notification messages to n IPv6 networked device operating with Syslog
server software. Messages sent to a Syslog server can be stored to a file for
later debugging analysis.
To use the Syslog for IPv6 feature, you must install and configure a Syslog
server application on an IPv6 networked host accessible to the switch. Refer
to the documentation for the Syslog server application for instructions.
To configure an IPv6 Syslog server, use the logging < syslog-ipv6-addr >
command as described below.
When you configure a Syslog server, Event Log messages are automatically
enabled to be sent to the server. To reconfigure this setting, use the following
commands:
Use the debug command to specify additional debug message types.
■
Use the logging command to configure the system module or severity level
■
used to filter the Event Log messages sent to configured Syslog servers.
