NAT and DHCP logging to a syslog server ?

[ralfw]

Hi all,

is it possible to log NAT translations and DHCP bindings

to a syslog server ? I have a Cat6k/MSFC2 with IOS 12.1

acting like a DHCP server and doing NAT. I found no way

so far.. ?

Thanks

Ralf

hi ralf, maybe there is another good way to do it.

But i did it just for debugging, and not logging for all day long.

Add & or adjust some of these to suit your need.

logging buffered 4096 debugging

logging trap debugging

logging facility local6

logging source-interface fastethernettoyourlogsrv

logging ip.of.log.srv

and then i'm assuming you're using linux with syslogd for your syslog server just enable it with -r option in your config file and then add local6.* /var/log/yourfilename.log, save it then restart syslogd. whenever i do debug ip nat then it will forward to your log server.

Good luck.

best regards,

I'm thinking about something for all day logging. May-

hi ralf, as long as you don't disable debugging then it will keep logging. But it will be a very very big log file. I did it in the past just for only half day and it took 19 MBytes of log file :)

good luck.

I tried debugging, but the load goes to high. Can't believe

there is nothing better to simply log DHCP bindings and

NAT translations..
