Logging Function 483
3 Configuring the information source on the Switch.
With this configuration, you can define the information that is sent to SNMP NM:
generated by which modules, information type, information level, and so on.
Perform the following operation in System View.
Table 553 Defining Information Source
modu-name specifies the module name; default represents all the modules; level
refers to the severity levels;
severity specifies the severity level of information. The
information with the level below it will not be output.
channel-number specifies the
channel number and
channel-name specifies the channel name.
When defining the information sent to SNMP NM,
channel-number or channel-name
must be set to the channel that corresponds to Console direction.
Every channel has been set with a default record, whose module name is
default
and the module number is 0xffff0000. However, for different channels, the default
record may have different default settings of log, trap and debugging. When there is
no specific configuration record for a module in the channel, use the default one.
If you want to view the debugging information of some modules on the Switch, you
must select
debugging as the information type when configuring information source,
meantime using the
debugging command to turn on the debugging Switch of those
modules.
You can use the following commands to configure log information, debugging
information and the time-stamp output format of trap information.
Perform the following operation in System View:
Table 554 Configuring the Output Format of Time-stamp
4 Configuring SNMP and a network management workstation on the Switch
You have to configure SNMP on the Switch and the remote workstation to ensure
that the information is correctly sent to the SNMP NM. Then you can get correct
information from the network management workstation.
Turning on/off the Information Synchronization Switch in Fabric
After the forming of a Fabric by Switches which support XRN; the log, debugging and
trap information among the Switches is synchronous. The synchronization process is
as follows: each Switch sends its own information to other Switches in the Fabric and
meantime receives the information from others, and then the Switch updates the
local information to ensure the information synchronizes within the Fabric.
Operation Command
Define information
source
info-center source { modu-name | default } channel
{ channel-number | channel-name } [ { log | trap |
debug }* { level severity | state state }* ]
Cancel the configuration
of information source
undo info-center source { modu-name | default }
channel { channel-number | channel-name }
Operation Command
Configure the output format of the
time-stamp
info-center timestamp { log | trap |
debugging } { boot | date | none }
Output time-stamp is disabled undo info-center timestamp { log |
trap | debugging }
