Enable timestamp on Syslog Messages By default, syslog messages do not include a time/date stamp stating when the error or message was created. To have FTOS include a timestamp with the syslog message, use the following command syntax in CONFIGURATION mode: Command Syntax service timestamps [log | debug] [datetime [localtime] [msec] [show-timezone] | uptime] Command Mode Purpose CONFIGURATION Add timestamp to syslog messages. Specify the following optional parameters: • datetime: You can add the keyword localtime to include the localtime, msec, and show-timezone. If you do not add the keyword localtime, the time is UTC. • uptime. To view time since last boot. If neither parameter is specified, FTOS configures uptime. To view the configuration, enter the show running-config logging command in EXEC privilege mode. To disable time stamping on syslog messages, enter the no service timestamps [log | debug] command. File Transfer Services With FTOS, you can configure the system to transfer files over the network using file transfer protocol (FTP). One FTP application copies the system image files over an interface on to the system; however, FTP is not supported on VLAN interfaces. For more information about FTP, refer to RFC 959, File Transfer Protocol. Configuration Task List for File Transfer Services The following list includes the configuration tasks for file transfer services: • Enable the FTP Server (mandatory) • Configure the FTP Server Parameters (optional) • Configure FTP Client Parameters (optional) For a complete listing of FTP related commands, refer to RFC 959, File Transfer Protocol.
