Configuring The Syslog Service - Foundry Networks FESX Manual

To also enable the real-time display for a Telnet or SSH session, enter the following command from the Privileged
EXEC level of the session:
telnet@FESX424 Router# terminal monitor
Syslog trace was turned ON
Syntax: terminal monitor
Notice that the CLI displays a message to indicate the status change for the feature. To disable the feature in the
management session, enter the terminal monitor command again. The command toggles the feature on and off.
telnet@FESX424 Router# terminal monitor
Syslog trace was turned OFF
Here is an example of how the Syslog messages are displayed:
telnet@FESX424 Router# terminal monitor
Syslog trace was turned ON
SYSLOG: <9>FESX424 Router, Power supply 2, power supply on left connector, failed
SYSLOG: <14>FESX424 Router, Interface ethernet 6, state down
SYSLOG: <14>FESX424 Router, Interface ethernet 2, state up

Configuring the Syslog Service

The procedures in this section describe how to perform the following Syslog configuration tasks:
• Specify a Syslog server. You can configure the Foundry device to use up to six Syslog servers. (Use of a
Syslog server is optional. The system can hold up to 100 Syslog messages in an internal buffer.)
• Change the level of messages the system logs.
• Change the number of messages the local Syslog buffer can hold.
• Display the Syslog configuration.
• Clear the local Syslog buffer.
Logging is enabled by default, with the following settings:
• Messages of all severity levels (Emergencies – Debugging) are logged.
• By default, up to 50 messages are retained in the local Syslog buffer. This can be changed.
• No Syslog server is specified.
