Re: CISCO-4506 Syslog not able to set

hiruannaofit · ‎11-07-2004

CISCO 4506 Switch with supervisory engine,Release 12.1(19)EW is not able to logging Messages to a UNIX (SUN Server) Syslog Daemon.

I would like to set message logging level "7" (i.e.Debugging)

I have tried "set" command, which is not working at all. I have refered the following link:

http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/lan/c3550/12120ea2/3550scg/swlog.htm

Experimented the same but still this issue is open.

I have downloaded "CISCO NETWORK ASSISTANT" software and tried to set IP Address of my switch and access through the cisco network assistant software but not working.....even I am not able to set IP of my switch

Pls. do the needful and suggest me some appropriate steps.

For the syslog issue, can you post the relevant config(sh run | include logging)

For the CNA issue, you will need to upgrade IOS on your 4506 to 12.2(20)EWA(this is the first release in which CNA is supported)

My SUN-NMS server ip address is 172.16.29.105 255.255.255.0

#Syslog.conf is set in etc. Pls. find the following config:

#

# syslog configuration file.

#

# This file is processed by m4 so be careful to quote (`') names

# that match m4 reserved words. Also, within ifdef's, arguments

# containing commas must be quoted.

#

*.err;kern.debug;daemon.notice;mail.crit /var/adm/messages

*.alert;kern.err;daemon.err operator

*.alert root

*.emerg *

local7.debug /var/log/cisco.log

user.debug /var/log/cisco.log

# if a non-loghost machine chooses to have authentication messages

# sent to the loghost machine, un-comment out the following line:

#auth.notice ifdef(`LOGHOST', /var/log/authlog, @loghost)

mail.debug ifdef(`LOGHOST', /var/log/syslog, @loghost)

#

# non-loghost machines will use the following lines to cause "user"

# log messages to be logged locally.

#

ifdef(`LOGHOST', ,

user.err /dev/sysmsg

user.err /var/adm/messages

user.alert `root, operator'

user.emerg *

)

I hope this information is worth finding solution.

Hope to see u soon.

What is gig 3/15? Is it a switch port or a routed interface. You might want to give a VLAN interface as a routed port.

hiruannaofit · ‎11-09-2004

Yes. All gig 3/15 (Slot 3..15 is a no. of port) are switch ports and one of them like gig 3/47 is the last one which can be set a routed port for the identity of switch IP.

Pls. help step by step.

Prashanth Krishnappa · ‎11-09-2004

Which VLAN is 172.16.29.105 in? I would configure an interface VLAN x and configure an IP address under it from this subnet and make it the source interface for syslogging.

hiruannaofit · ‎11-10-2004

We haven't yet configured VLAN on switch u can see the config. I sent in my earlier reply.

Just my gigabitethernet 3/15 port of switch is connected to my syslog server.It's a SUN server OS 8.0 and it's IP address is 172.16.29.105

U can view /etc/syslog.conf contents of my syslog server in my earlier reply.

Pls. suggest me the basic neccesity steps syntaxwise to be done on cisco 4506 switch.

Regards,

Hiren Mehta.

Prashanth Krishnappa · ‎11-10-2004

You will need a source IP address on the switch for the this. Make gig3/15 a routed port by assigning it a free IP address to it from same network as 172.16.29.105. Here is how you can do it(say 172.16.29.106 is the free IP address)

conf t

interface gig3/15

no switchport

ip address 172.16.29.106 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx <<--subnet mask

no shut

end

hiruannaofit · ‎11-11-2004

I have set IP on my switch port as suggested.

What's next...??

Hiren.

hiruannaofit · ‎11-21-2004

dear prkrishn,

I have set on cisco 4506 as suggested. I observed that no error messages written in /var/log/cisco.log

Pls. suggest some more. Any sun server user rights related problem or what?

Prashanth Krishnappa · ‎11-21-2004

That is all you need from the switch side.. Install a sniffer software on your Sun Server or connect a sniffer and see if you are seeing the syslog messages coming in. If they are, I would think it has to do with some settings on your Sun server.

1. In 4K you have to enable clustering first with "cluster run" command.

2. In 4K unlike the stackable switches HTTP server is not enabled by default, you need to enable it to run CNA on 4K
