How to check the PIX Syslog messages

[kuldeeprawat]

Hi,

I have installed PIX Firewall Syslog Server. I am not able to find out how to check the logs.

It's not giving me an option to see anything.

I have configured everything on the PIX for syslog notification and configuration.

Please suggest.

Quick reply will help me out to resolve this issue.

Thanks

Hello irshad,

You can set up local logging on the PIX memory buffer or direct the syslog messages to an external server. for local logging, u can use the command:

logging buffered

logging trap 5 (notifications)

logging on

You can see the messages by giving the command "show logging"

you can also direct these messages to a server, as told before. you can use the command:

logging host inside 10.1.1.1 tcp/1468 (default syslog port)

hope this helps.. all the best..
