System Log Configuration

System Logging for Switches

Switches can be configured to stream system log messages to a local server. This option is configured at the site level. All of the switches in that site receive the same settings, either enable or disable, and the IP address and server port to which the system log messages will be forwarded. View the Event Logs tab by selecting Sites > <siteName> > Event Logs.

System Logging for Access Points

(ExtremeWireless WiNG Only) There is an additional system log option to include client events in system log files. This option applies to ExtremeWireless WiNG access points (APs) only, and becomes available when system log is enabled for an ExtremeWirelessWiNG site. System log for client events is useful for complying with the security requirements of some countries. This option is configured under Advanced Settings for a site. The clients event logs can be viewed, searched, and sorted on the individual AP page on the Event Logs tab. View the AP event logs tab by selecting Devices > Access Points > wingApName > Event Logs .
