Sending Event Messages to Log Targets
You can specify seven types of targets to receive log messages:
- Console display
- Current session (Telnet or console display)
- Memory buffer (can contain 200 to 20,000 messages)
- NVRAM (messages remain after reboot)
- Primary node (for SummitStack)
- Backup node (for SummitStack)
- Syslog server, supports IPv6 address family as of ExtremeXOS 21.1
The first six targets exist by default; but before enabling any syslog host, you must add the host's information to the switch using the configure syslog command. Extreme Management Center or Ridgeline can be a syslog target.
By default, the memory buffer and NVRAM targets are already enabled and receive messages.
