Syslog
Syslog can be configured in Menu 24.3.2 - System Maintenance - UNIX Syslog. Menu 24.3.2
configures the router to send UNIX system logs to another machine.
You must configure the parameters to activate syslog (Table 9-4).
To configure the router for logging with the syslogd program on a local host:
1. Go to Menu 24.3.2 - System Maintenance - UNIX Syslog.
2. Set Active to Yes.
3. In the Syslog IP Address field, enter the IP address of the syslogd host PC.
4. Select a number for Log Facility.
You can choose any facility number, but the syslogd program must be set to the same number.
5. Select the type of activity that you would like to log.
You can enable the router to send the following types of syslog messages:
• Call detail record (CDR)
• Packet trigger
