To view session log files:
1. On the Device page, click the Utilities tab. The following page opens:
Figure 9-27 Device Page - Utilities Tab
Device session log file names have the following format: <hostname>_<host_mac_address>-
<device_port_number>=<username>=<connection_type>-<date_and_time>.log, where:
Table 9-28 Device Session Log File Name Components
Device Setting Description
<hostname> Up to the first 8 characters of the hostname of the Ethernet device. If the
hostname is shorter than 8 characters, the hostname section is padded with ~ characters to reach this length.
<host_mac_address> MAC Address of the Ethernet device. This is used by the vSLM 2 software
to correlate log files to their corresponding Ethernet devices.
<device_port_number> Device port number connected to for this session. This field is set to 0 "00"

2. From the Device Session drop-down list, select the log you want to view. 3. Click the View button. The contents of the log display on the Display tab.
4. To view an SLC or SLB audit log, select the audit log from the SLC/SLB drop-down list and click the View button. The contents of the log display on the Display tab.
5. To Ping a device, click on the Ping-V4 button. A pop-up window will appear to display the resuts of the ping operation.
6. To perform an SNMP walk of either the private MIB for the device or MIB-2, select the SNMP version. If version 3 is selected, set the v3 Auth, the v3 Encrypt, the v3User, the Auth
Passphrase, and lastly, click on the SNMP Walk button. The resulting output will appear in the Display tab. Not all devices support this operation or have it enabled. Depending on the type of device, the SNMP OID for the private MIB may be automatically filled in.
Note: For information about a global option for enabling both device session logging and SLC port session logging, see Logging in to the vSLM 2 Software (on page 307).
Traps
Traps are notifications of events sent from one device to another. The traps listed below are those sent by other devices (including SLM, SLC, RPM/SLP, and SLK devices) and received by the vSLM 2 secure management software. This feature is applicable when you select Enable Traps Reception on the SNMP Agent page. Examples of traps the vSLM 2 software can receive include:
SNMP Generic Traps:
Cold Start
Warm Start
Ethernet Link Down
Ethernet Link Up
Authentication Failure
EGP Neighbor Loss
SLM Custom Traps (specified in vSLM 2 custom MIBs)
SLC Custom Traps (specified in SLC custom MIBs)
RPM/SLP Custom Traps (specified in RPM/SLP custom MIBs)
SLK Custom Traps (specified in SLK custom MIBs)
Note: You can view traps on three levels: All Ethernet devices, Ethernet device group, and individual Ethernet device.
To view traps for devices listed on the All Ethernet Devices page:
1. On the menu, click All Ethernet Devices, then select a specific Ethernet device group, select
<username> The vSLM 2 user ID that initiated this session.
<connection_type> Session connection type: tnt for telnet, ssh for ssh, or scc for secure
channel.
<date_and_time> Date and time string in the format YYMMDD_HHMMSS
