Message Logging (With Syslog) on the OnBoard
•
Enter the
ifconfig
or
ipconfig
command on the command line of
the user’s workstation to discover the IP address assigned to the
OnBoard’s end of the PPTP link.
•
Enter the OnBoard’s PPTP-assigned address either in a browser or with
ssh
on the command line to access the OnBoard.
•
Create a static route to inform the workstation that the devices to be
contacted are at the other end of the point-to-point link at the OnBoard’s
PPTP-assigned address.
•
If multiple private subnets have been configured without a virtual network
(DNAT), then create a route for each subnet.
•
Access the device and enable native IP access.
Caution!
Remind users to always disable native IP before closing the PPTP
VPN connection to prevent other users from potentially being able to obtain
unauthorized and unauthenticated access to native IP features of the device.
Message Logging (With Syslog) on the OnBoard
The administrator can set up logging of messages about the following types of
events:
•
Events of interest from the OnBoard system
•
Events of interest obtained by filtering data during device console
connections with connected devices
•
Overcurrent status from a connected AlterPath PM IPDU
•
Sensor alarms generated by sensors on connected devices
Messages can be sent to central logging servers, called syslog servers.
Messages can also be sent to the console or to the root user or both.
Message Filtering Levels
Messages can be filtered according to their severity, based on any or all of the
levels that the administrator can select from the following list.
•
0 - EMERG
•
1 - ALERT
•
2 - CRIT
