Configuration procedure
Before the configuration, make sure that the device and the log host can reach each other. (Details not
shown.)
1. Configure the device:
# Enable the information center.
<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] info-center enable
# Specify the log host 1.2.0.1/16, and specify local5 as the logging facility.
[Sysname] info-center loghost 1.2.0.1 facility local5
# Disable log output to the log host.
[Sysname] info-center source default loghost deny
To avoid outputting unnecessary information, disable all modules from outputting log information
to the specified destination (loghost in this example) before you configure an output rule.
# Configure an output rule to enable output to the log host FTP logs that have a severity level of at
least informational.
[Sysname] info-center source ftp loghost level informational
2. Configure the log host:
The following configurations were performed on Solaris. Other UNIX operating systems have
similar configurations.
a. Log in to the log host as a root user.
b. Create a subdirectory named Device in the directory /var/log/, and create file info.log in the
Device directory to save logs of Device.
# mkdir /var/log/Device
# touch /var/log/Device/info.log
c. Edit the file syslog.conf in directory /etc/ and add the following contents.
# Device configuration messages
