SonicOS 5.7: Advanced Switching Feature Guide and Screencast Tutorial
Viewing Log Event Messages for Switching
A new log event, logstrAdvSwitch, is introduced in SonicOS 5.7 to address SonicOS Switching activities.
It falls under a new category, Advanced Switching, which can only be seen on devices with the switching
hardware, such as the SonicWALL NSA 2400MX. Other SonicWALL appliances will not show the new
category, as it is not applicable to the hardware.
You can filter the log for the Advanced Switching category to display only the log events related to switching.
For instructions, see the “Filtering the Log for Switching Events” section on page 43.
All messages are informational, and no actions are required by the administrator when these log messages
occur.
Table 5 describes the various instances of the logstrAdvSwitch log event specific to Switching in SonicOS
5.7.
Table 5 Switching Log Event Messages
Log Event Message Comments
User configuration of Flow Control on an interface can cause the following log events:
Flow control on X%d is enabled
•
Where %d is a decimal number in the
interface name. For example, X%d could
be X3, X22, etc.
Flow control on X%d is disabled
User configuration of Rate Limiting on an interface can cause the following log events:
Ingress rate on X%d is limited to x kbps
•
Where %d is a decimal number in the
interface name. For example, X%d could
be X3, X22, etc.
• Where x kbps is the number of kilobits
per second for the limit.
Ingress rate on X%d is not limited
Egress rate on X%d is limited to x kbps
Egress rate on X%d is not limited
Ingress Rate limiting mode on X%d : Limit
All
Ingress Rate limiting mode on X%d : Limit
Broadcast, Multicast and Flooded Unicast
Ingress Rate limiting mode on X%d : Limit
Broadcast and Multicast
Ingress Rate limiting mode on X%d : Limit
Only Broadcast
User configuration of QoS Priority or Rules on an interface can cause the following log events:
Default QoS Priority on X%d : x
•
Where x is the number for the priority
level, with possible values of 0-7. See
Table 4 on page 28 for a mapping of
802.1p priority levels to the four priority
queues supported by the SonicOS
Switching feature.
• CoS is Class of Service, IEEE 802.1p
• DSCP is Differentiated Services Code
Point
Desired QoS Rule on X%d : Trust CoS
Desired QoS Rule on X%d : Trust DSCP
Desired QoS Rule on X%d : Both CoS and
DSCP (Prefer DSCP)
Desired QoS Rule on X%d : Both CoS and
DSCP (Prefer CoS)
The following message is generated when the hardware determines that both ends of an
Ethernet link support flow control and flow control will take effect as needed. the link Xi (e.g X0,
X1, X2):
Flow control on X%d is activated
•
Where X%d indicates the link interface,
such as X3.
