Configuring a Cisco Wireless device (Aironet)
Previous  Top  Next


Telnet to the wireless access point or connect via the console and enter into enable mode.

Enter the following commands from the enable prompt on the device.

Config terminal

Logging on

Logging Facility Local7 (or any other facility you want to allocate for this device.)

Logging [IP Address or Hostname of machine running Kiwi Syslog Daemon]

End

Another useful command is logging source-interface which first appeared in IOS v11.2. According to Cisco, a syslog message contains the IP address of the interface it uses to leave the device. The logging source-interface command specifies that syslog packets contain the IP address of a particular interface, regardless of which interface the packet uses to exit the device.

* The logging source-interface command MUST be used on some versions of IOS due to a bug. If the command is not used the Syslog messages sent have an invalid UDP checksum and are dropped by Winsock before the Kiwi Syslog Daemon gets to see them.
