To view session log files:
1. On the Device page, click the Utilities tab. The following page opens:
Figure 9-28 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 9-29 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 SLM 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"
for direct connections to the Ethernet device.
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 on a device, select the SNMP version, and if version 3 is selected, set the v3 Auth, the v3 Encrypt, the v3User and the Auth Passphrase, then click on the SNMP Walk button and the resulting output will appear in the Display tab. Not all devices support this operation or have it enabled.
Note: For information about a global option for enabling both device session logging and SLC port session logging, see Logging in to the SLM (on page 288).
Traps
Traps are notifications of events sent from one device to another. The traps listed below are those sent by other devices (SLMs, SLCs, SLPs, and SLKs) and received by the SLM. This feature is applicable when you select Enable Traps Reception on the SNMP Agent page. Examples of traps the SLM 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 SLM custom MIBs) SLC Custom Traps (specified in SLC custom MIBs) SLP Custom Traps (specified in 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, the Ethernet device group, or the individual device, and then click the Traps tab. The following page opens.
<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

Description
Ethernet Device Groups
For each device group, select one of the following options from the drop-down list:
Always: Device folder displays whether populated or not. This is the default setting
for the SLM, SLC, SLK, and SLP folders.
Never: Device folder does not display, even if populated.
Populated: Device folder displays only when populated. This is the default setting
for the SCS05/20, SCSxx00, SLB, Spider, WiBox, UDS/SDS, EDS, EDS-MD, Xport, Premier Wave, Other Lantronix, and Non Lantronix folders.

Port Access
The Port Access tab is available for SLCs, SLBs, SLPs, Spiders and UDS/SDSs and provides the following:
SLCs: Connection to serial ports.
SLBs: Connection to serial ports and access to the port page for power ports. SLPs: Access to the port page for power ports.
Spiders: KVM access to devices connected to a Spider. UDS/SDS: Manage connections between UDS/SDS ports.
To connect to an SLC port:
1. On the menu, click Ethernet Devices > SLC. The Manage SLC Group page opens.
2. Click the Port Access tab. A list of all SLCs displays, along with all of their ports. Numbered squares represent the ports.
