For example Belkin mac address begins with 00:11:50, Intel mac address begins with 00:02:B3 and VMWare mac address with 00:05:69. The first three octets or 24 bits of mac address identify the vendor of a network interface. MAC address usually encodes the vendors or manufacturers registered identification number. Here is the CLI in/out: (config)mac-address-table secure sticky f6 Need to enable dynamic port security on the port first before enabling the sticky address (config)int f6 (config-if)switchport access Set access mode characteristics of the interface mode Set trunking mode of the interface priority. So, I suspect the answer to your current dilemma is to check for SNMP traps in your SNMP server rather than looking for things in SYSLOG.MAC address is assigned by the vendor of a network interface card (NIC) and stored in its hardware. I'm having trouble configuring secure mac addresses on a Cisco 891W (CISCO891W-AGN-A-K9).
An SNMP trap, therefore, reverses the previous client-server role and the network node which is sending an asynchronous notification becomes a client sending a message to the SNMP server running on the network management system (or other designated trap receiver host). In order to address this need for asynchronous notification by devices, there's also the SNMP facility known as "traps". However, as we all know, problems don't happen on a schedule and 5 minutes might be a long time to wait for an important event. Polling usually happens at regular intervals, often around 5 minutes per interval. In normal monitoring, the network management system operates as an SNMP client and polls the various nodes SNMP server processes to ask about whatever variables are being monitored (interface statistics, power, cpu utilization, etc.). SNMP is a little bit strange in that the client and server roles trade off.
The console displays all levels (0-7) by default.
Messages at level 4 through 7 will be discarded. So, by default (3), you will get all messages for EMERGENCY (0), ALERTS (1), CRITICAL (2), and ERROR (3). Whatever level you choose in the logging trap command (default is ERRORS (3), logging trap 3), you'll get all levels ≤ the specified level. SYSLOG is generally for anything that would display as a message on the console and is controlled by "levels" which range from DEBUG (7) to EMERGENCY (0) with 6 levels in between. SNMP and SYSLOG are independent notification mechanisms. It seems to me that you are configuring mac-notification via SNMP and then expecting it to arrive via SYSLOG. The logging are set to informational levelĪnd i am sending trap as syslog as informational level tooĬan you see if there is any issue with my configurations or understanding or how should i proceed to achieve the required result so that atleast i have the mac address-table in the syslog server Snmp trap mac-notification change removedīut even after that i am unable to see anything in my loggin server other than interface down and interface up Mac address-table notification change history-size 500Įven after this nothing came to logging serverĪt very last step i configured the interface to send any snmp trap mac-notification for any change like add and remove Mac address-table notification change interval 10 I configured my switch for snmp and send the mac address-table notification, i did configure the switch to send the trap as a syslog to server, but never received any information about any mac address changed or add or removed. We have a large switching network and usually we have all sorts of layer 2 issues, the switches are logging however not enough to troubleshoot specially when we have mac tracking issues.
