1. On the switch, enable the SSH serverDell(conf)#ip ssh server enable2. On the syslog server, create a reverse SSH tunnel from the syslog server to FTOS switch, usingfollowing syntax:ssh -R ::user@remote_host -nNfIn the following example the syslog server IP address is 10.156.166.48 and the listening port is5141. The switch IP address is 10.16.131.141 and the listening port is 5140ssh -R 5140:10.156.166.48:5141 admin@10.16.131.141 -nNf3. Configure logging to a local host. locahost is “127.0.0.1” or “::1”.If you do not, the system displays an error when you attempt to enable role-based only AAAauthorization.Dell(conf)# logging localhost tcp portDell(conf)#logging 127.0.0.1 tcp 5140Log Messages in the Internal BufferAll error messages, except those beginning with %BOOTUP (Message), are log in the internal buffer.For example, %BOOTUP:RPM0:CP %PORTPIPE-INIT-SUCCESS: Portpipe 0 enabledConfiguration Task List for System Log ManagementThere are two configuration tasks for system log management:• Disable System Logging• Send System Messages to a Syslog ServerDisabling System LoggingBy default, logging is enabled and log messages are sent to the logging buffer, all terminal lines, theconsole, and the syslog servers.To disable system logging, use the following commands.• Disable all logging except on the console.CONFIGURATION modeno logging on• Disable logging to the logging buffer.CONFIGURATION modeno logging buffer• Disable logging to terminal lines.CONFIGURATION modeno logging monitor• Disable console logging.CONFIGURATION mode64 Management
