212 AT-TQ2403 - Management Software - User's Guide
You can set a Severity of between 0 (most severe) and 7 (least severe). Setting a Severity of 7 will result
in all persistent messages being sent to the Event Log. However, if you set a Severity of 4, only messages
with a Severity between 0 and 4 will be sent to the Event Log. To find out the current Severity level set
for the AP, use the following command:
AT-TQ2403# get log severity
7
Suppose you only want to retrieve messages with a Severity of 5 or more, use the following CLI
command:
AT-TQ2403#
set
log
severity
5
Specify the Depth of the Event Log
The value specified for Depth determines the number of log entries that can be saved to NVRAM. You
can save up to a maximum of 128 entries. To determine the current Depth setting, use the following
command:
AT-TQ2403# get log depth
128
Suppose you want to limit the Depth of the log entries saved to NVRAM to 99. Use the following CLI
command to do this.
AT-TQ2403# set log depth 99
Enable Remote Logging and Specify the Log Relay Host for the Log
The Log is a list of system messages, such as error conditions like dropping frames. To capture Access
Point Log messages you need access to a remote syslog server on the network. The following sections
describe how to set up remote logging for the AP.
1. Prerequisites for Remote Logging
2. View Log Settings
3. Enable / Disable Log Relay Host
4. Specify the Relay Host
5. Specify the Relay Port
6. Review Log Settings After Configuring Log Relay Host
Prerequisites for Remote Logging
To capture Log messages from the access point system, you must first set up a remote server running a
syslog process and acting as a syslog "log relay host" on your network. (For information on how to set up
the remote server, see “Setting Up the Log Relay Host
”.)
Then, you can use the CLI to configure the AT-TQ2403 Management Software to send its syslog
messages to the remote server.
