Configuring the syslog message destinations 1 For the Brocade DCX family of switches, any security violations that occur through Telnet, HTTP, or serial connections are not propagated between CPs. Security violations on the active CP are not propagated to the standby CP counters in the event of a failover, nor do security violations on the standby CP get propagated to the active CP counters. Configuring a syslog server To configure the switch to forward all system events and error messages to the syslogd of one or more servers, perform the following steps. 1. Log in to the switch as admin. 2. Execute the syslogdIpAdd IP address command to add a server to which system messages are forwarded. switch:admin> syslogdipadd 172.26.3.83 You can configure up to six syslog servers to receive the syslog messages. 3. Execute the syslogdIpShow command to verify the syslog configuration on the switch. switch:admin> syslogdipshow syslog.1 172.26.3.83 You can remove a configured syslog server using the syslogdIpRemove IP address command. System console The system console displays RASLog messages, Audit messages (if enabled), and panic dump messages. These messages are mirrored to the system console; they are always saved in one of the system logs. The system console displays messages only through the serial port. If you log in to a switch through the Ethernet port or modem port, you will not receive system console messages. You can filter messages that display on the system console by severity using the errFilterSet command. All messages are still sent to the system message log and syslogd (if configured). Setting the RASLog console severity level You can limit the types of messages that are logged to the console using the errFilterSet command. The system messages displayed on the console are filtered up to and include the configured severity level. You can choose one of the following severity levels: INFO, WARNING, ERROR, or CRITICAL. To set the severity levels for the RASLog console, perform the following steps. 1. Log in to the switch as admin. 2. Execute the errFilterSet [-d console -v severity] command to set the console severity level. The severity can be one of the following: INFO, WARNING, ERROR, or CRITICAL. The severity values are not case-sensitive. For example, to set the filter severity level for the console to ERROR, enter the following command. switch:admin> errfilterset -d console -v error Fabric OS Message Reference 5 53-1002448-01
