Sun Network Switch
 

PLA-Support>Sun Systems>SAND>Network>SN-SND: Sun Network Ethernet Switches
 

On the switch:

• Step1: Configure Syslog Server

Syntax: event syslog host ipAddress port integer filter text facility enumeration

e.g.
sun(config)# event syslog host 10.8.118.19 514 defaultSyslog local7

(Note: Select local0 through local7. The default setting is local0.)

• Step2: Enable Debug Mode [Optional]

e.g.
sun(config)# no event filterProfile rule defaultSyslog 90

• Step3: Disable Debug Mode [Optional]

e.g.
sun(config)# event filterProfile defaultSyslog rule 90 drop logLevel debug

• Step4: Check current defaultSyslog filter rule

sun(config)# show event filterProfile rule defaultSyslog
Profile Name         Position    Action  Summary
-------------------- ----------- ------- ----------------------------
defaultSyslog        90          drop    level<=debug
defaultSyslog        100         send    all

On the Solaris Syslog Server:

• Step1: Edit /etc/syslog.conf with vi

# vi /etc/syslog.conf

• Step2: Add the following line to /etc/syslog.conf file

/etc/syslog.conf
local7.debug    /var/tmp/nauticus.log

(Note: Please use it as the first line.)

• Step3: Create the nauticus log file

# touch /var/tmp/nauticus.log

• Step4: Restart the syslogd daemon. Use the pkill to HUP the syslogd daemon.

# pkill -HUP syslogd

• Step5: Verify syslogd is managing local7 system messages. Use the logger utility.

# logger -p local7.warn "Testing local7.warn"
# tail /var/tmp/nauticus.log

Sep 21 12:01:55 sun root: [ID 702911 local7.warning] Testing local7.warn

• Step6: Create some events on the switch and then check that the events are being logged.

# tail /var/tmp/nauticus.log
