Setting Up and Viewing the System Log

The WS 2000 Network Management System keeps a log of the events that happen on the
switch. The switch has a modest of amount of memory to store events. If the administrator
wishes to keep a more complete event history, the administrator needs to enable a log
server.

To view the log or set up a log server, select System Configuration --> Logs from the
left menu.

Viewing the Log on the Switch

To save a log of the most recent events that are retained on the switch, click the View
button. The system will display a prompt asking for the administrator password. After the
password has been entered, click the Get File button and a dialogue will be displayed with
buttons to Open or Save the log.txt file. Click Save and specify a location to save the file.

To view the saved log.txt file on a Microsoft Windows based computer use the WordPad
application. Viewing the log file with Notepad, the default text file view on most Windows
based computers, will not properly display the formatting of the log file.
