Pairing log

[julien.piperault]

Hello,

Do you know where i can found log of failover pairing interface ?

I've Ironport with pairing (Data1 and Data 2) and when i shut the port in the switch i can found log about failover ?

Thank you for your help.

Regards,

Julien

The only place I can find that we log that is on the backend OS level - that customer would not have access to.  

In /var/log/messages - we can see the event when a NIC pair is created or removed:

Feb  6 20:39:52  kernel: bce0: link state changed to DOWN

Feb  6 20:39:54  kernel: bce0: link state changed to UP

Feb  6 20:46:16  kernel: bce0: link state changed to DOWN

Feb  6 20:46:18  kernel: bce0: link state changed to UP

Feb  6 20:46:48  kernel: bce0: link state changed to DOWN

Feb  6 20:46:50  kernel: bce0: link state changed to UP

But - aside from that - there is not an entry in any configured logs that would be reference-able to the switch level action, as to which - be it Data1 or Data 2 - is the active traffic flow.

Hi Robert,

Thank you for your answer.

So, i cannot access to these logs without the TAC ?

Correct.  If there are questions relating to the NIC pairing, you will need to open a support case, open remote tunnel, and we can review and provide further information.  If not, then the only real logging from your side that will be available will be review of the switch level logging itself, on the network side, viewing port information, etc.
