Study Notes
Syslog Levels
- Syslog messages are divided into severity levels, which help categorize criticality.
- The lower the numerical level, the higher the level of criticality.
- Level 1: Immediate Action Needed - Critical
- Level 2: Critical Condition - Critical
- Level 3: Error Condition - Error
- Level 4: Warning Condition - Warning
- Level 5: Normal, but Significant Condition - Notification
- Level 6: Informational Message - Informational
- Level 7: Debugging Message - Debugging
Syslog Facilities
- Syslog messages contain information on the facility, which helps categorize and identify the source of messages.
- Common syslog message facilities reported on Cisco IOS routers include:
- IP: Internet Protocol
- OSPF: Open Shortest Path First protocol
- SYS: Operating System
- IPsec: IP security
- IF: Interface IP
Router and Switch File Maintenance
Password Recovery Example
- To access ROMMON mode:
- During boot up, use a break sequence.
- Remove external flash memory when the device is powered off.
- ROMMON mode prompt is:
rommon 1> - To ignore the startup config file:
- Use
confreg 0x2142command. - Type
resetat the prompt to restart the device.
- Use
- To copy the startup-config into the running-config:
- Use the commands
ntp server IP addressandend - Use
show ntp associationsto check for a successful NTP connection. - Use
show ntp statusto verify clock synchronization.
- Use the commands
Introduction to SNMP
- SNMP stands for Simple Network Management Protocol.
- It allows administrators to manage nodes on an IP network.
- Enables the monitoring and management of network performance.
- Helps find and solve network problems, and plan for network growth.
- Functions as an application layer protocol.
- Communicates between managers and agents.
