SonicOS 5.7: Advanced Switching Feature Guide and Screencast Tutorial
Filtering the Log for Switching Events
To display only the log events related to switching, perform the following steps:
Step 1 Navigate to the Log > View page in the SonicOS management interface.
Step 2 In the Log View Settings section, select Advanced Switching from the Category drop-down list.
Step 3 Optionally select specific interfaces from the Source and/or Destination drop-down lists.
The fields for which you select values into are combined into a search string with a logical AND. For
example, if you select an interface for Source and for Destination, the search string will look for log events
matching:
Source interface AND Destination interface
Note Do not enter IP addresses for Source or Destination, as these are not used in the Layer 2
Advanced Switching log event messages.
Step 4 Select the Group Filters checkbox next to any two or more criteria to combine them with a logical OR.
Step 5 For example, if you select interfaces for Source and Destination, and select Advanced Switching for
Category, and then select the Group Filters checkboxes next to Source and Destination, the search string
will look for log event messages matching:
(Source interface OR Destination interface) AND Advanced Switching category
Step 6 Click Apply Filters to apply the filter immediately to the Log View table of event messages. Click Reset
Filters to clear the filter and display the unfiltered results again.
