Configuring the WSM using Device Manager

Generating system messages

You can configure the syslog facility to generate system messages from the WSM by configuring it to match the syslog value configured for the 8600 module. The Syslog Trap tab lists the types of messages generated.

To generate syslog messages from the WSM:

1. From the Device View, select the Web Switching Module.

The module is highlighted.

2. From the Edit menu, select WSM Card > General.

The Web Switching Module dialog box opens to the General tab.

3. Click the Syslog tab.

The Syslog tab opens.

4. On the Syslog tab, click the down arrow in the 1st Syslog Facility field and choose a local facility (0 - 7).
5. Click Set > Apply > Close.

The change is applied and the dialog box closes.

6. To save the change, right-click the WSM card and choose one of the following from the shortcut menu:
• Save configuration (backup)--Saves changes to the active and backup WSM configuration blocks.
• Save configuration (no backup)--Saves changes to the active WSM configuration block.
