Cisco Cisco Aironet 340 Ethernet Bridges Guia Do Utilizador

The failure traps may be sent if an NMS sends a request with an 
unknown community name or a community name that it is not allowed 
for use. You can enable or disable this option. The default setting is 
“Off”.

Use the syslog option to forward logs to a Unix host running the Syslogd 
deamon process. Enter the IP address of the Unix host. If the address 
remains at the default of 0.0.0.0., logs will not be sent. You may control 
the type of logs sent to the deamon with the Syslevel option which has 
the same arguments as the printlevel function described above.

Packets received by the Syslogd daemon process are recorded in the sys-
tem log file on the Unix host. The logs are displayed on the Console in 
addition to being forwarded to the Unix host. If the Aironet 340 Series 
Bridge should fail for any reason, the logs may still be viewed on the 
Unix host.

The logs are sent using the syslog facility code “LOG_LOCAL0” which 
has a value of 16. You may change this value with the option Facility. 
The syslog priority depends on the priority of the log locally.

On the Unix host, the Syslogd deamon process will usually add the cur-
rent time and IP address of the unit that sent the log. The Aironet 340 
Series Bridge will pre-pend its own name to the log before it is sent. 

A message similar to the following will appear on the host:

Jan 11 10:46:30 192.009.200.206 A630_10172c:

Node 0000c0d1587e 630 added for 004096104546

By default the bridges are set up to be able to receive and display syslog 
messages from other bridges in the network. The Rcvsyslog option 
enables or disables this function. You could choose one bridge to moni-
tor and have all other units setup with this one as their syslog host.
