Disabling and re-enabling passcode logging
The software generates a Syslog message and SNMP trap message every time a new passcode is
generated and passcode authentication is attempted,. This is the default behavior. If desired, you
can disable passcode-related Syslog messages or SNMP trap messages, or both.
The following shows an example Syslog message and SNMP trap message related to passcode
authentication.
New passcode: 01234567. Expires in 1440 minutes. Old passcode is valid for another
5 minutes.
To disable Syslog messages for passcodes, enter the following command.
PowerConnect(config-vlan-10-webauth)#no auth-mode passcode log syslog
Enter the following command to disable SNMP trap messages for passcodes.
PowerConnect(config-vlan-10-webauth)#no auth-mode passcode log snmp-trap
Enter the following command to re-enable Syslog messages for passcodes after they have been
disabled.
PowerConnect(config-vlan-10-webauth)#auth-mode passcode log syslog
Enter the following command to re-enable SNMP trap messages for passcodes after they have
been disabled.
PowerConnect(config-vlan-10-webauth)#auth-mode passcode log snmp-trap
Syntax: [no] auth-mode passcode log syslog | snmp-trap
Re-sending the passcode log message
If passcode logging is enabled, you can enter a CLI command to retransmit the current passcode to
a Syslog message or SNMP trap. To do so, enter the following command.
PowerConnect(config-vlan-10-webauth)#auth-mode passcode resend-log
Syntax: auth-mode passcode resend-log
NOTE
The switch retransmits the current passcode only. Passcodes that are in the grace period are not
sent.
Manually refreshing the passcode
You can manually refresh the passcode instead of waiting for the system to automatically generate
one. When manually refreshed, the old passcode will no longer work, even if a grace period is
configured. Also, if the passcode refresh method duration of time is used, the duration counter is
reset when the passcode is manually refreshed. The passcode refresh method time of day is not
affected when the passcode is manually refreshed.
To immediately refresh the passcode, enter the following CLI command.
PowerConnect(config-vlan-10-webauth)#auth-mode passcode generate
Syntax: auth-mode passcode generate
