Appendix A: Troubleshooting a WS Switch 575
Nortel WLAN Security Switch 2300 Series Configuration Guide
Once you have entered the command, the WSS switch returns to its initial unconfigured state. For information on how to
configure the WSS switch, see “First-Time Configuration using the Console” on page 56.
For model WSS-2360, you also can reconfigure basic parameters using the Web Quick Start. Use a web browser to
access IP address 192.168.100.1.
Configuring and Managing the System Log
System logs provide information about system events that you can use to monitor and troubleshoot WSS Software.
Event messages for the WSS switch and its attached AP access points can be stored or sent to the following destinations:
• Stored in a local buffer on the WSS
• Displayed on the WSS console port
• Displayed in an active Telnet session
• Sent to one or more syslog servers, as specified in RFC 3164
The system log is a file in which the newest record replaces the oldest. These entries are preserved in nonvolatile
memory through system reboots.
Log Message Components
Each log message contains the following components:
Caution! Use an enable password that you will remember. If you lose the password,
the only way to restore it causes the system to return to its default settings and wipes out
the configuration.
