Event Log Priority: Configure the event log priority such as; Emergency, Alert, Critical, Error, Warning, Notice,
Info, Debug. Please note that the priorities are listed in the order of their severity, where Emergency takes the
highest severity and Debug the lowest. When the log priority is configured as high, all the logs with low priority are
also logged. For example, if Event Log Priority is set to Notice, then the device will log all logs with priorities Notice,
Warning, Error, Critical, Alert and Emergency.
•
System Status: By default, Syslog Status is enabled and default priority is Critical.
•
Syslog Priority: Configuration is same as Event Log Priority.
After configuring the required parameters, click OK and then Commit.
5.3.4.1 Configure a Remote Syslog host
Configure a syslog host (server) in order to forward syslog messages to it.
Follow the following steps to configure a remote syslog host:
1. Click Add in the Logs screen.
2. IP Address: Based on the IP mode, enter IPv4 or IPv6 address of the Syslog host.
3. Host Port: The port on which the Syslog host listens to the log messages sent by the device.
4. Comments: Types comments, if any.
5. Click Add.
For some reason, if the configured syslog host parameters are changed then you can edit it directly in the Syslog Host Table
entry.
After doing the necessary changes, click OK followed by Commit.
:
•
You can configure only one syslog host.
•
IPv6 address should be the global IP address and not the link-local IP address.
•
Configure the correct port number on which the Syslog host is running. Choice of port number must be in line
with the standards for port number assignments defined by Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA).
5.4 Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP)
SNTP allows you to synchronize the date and time of the device with the configured time servers.
The SNTP Client when enabled on the device(s), sends an NTP (Network Time Protocol) request to the configured time servers.
Upon receiving the NTP response, it decodes the response and sets the received date and time on the device after adjusting
the time zone and day light saving.
In case the time servers are not available, then users also have the option to manually set the date and time on the device.
To synchronize the device time with time servers or manually set the time, navigate to Management > SNTP and configure
the following parameters
•
Enable SNTP Status: Select this parameter to enable SNTP Client on the device. If enabled, the SNTP Client tries to
synchronize the device time with the configured time servers.
•
Primary Server IP Address / Domain Name or Secondary Server IP Address / Domain Name: Enter the host
name, or the IP address based on IP modes (IPv4 only or IPv4 and IPv6) of the primary or secondary SNTP time server.
The SNTP Client tries to synchronize device time with the configured primary server time. If the primary server is not
reachable, then SNTP client tries to synchronize device time with the secondary server time.
