C6576M NE Config/Mgmt Dialog Box
The C6576M NE Config/Mgmt dialog box provides monitoring and management information for
properties related to the Catalyst 6000 family switch or Cisco 7600 series Internet Router. These
properties include the Telnet and Enable passwords, global performance logging, and SNMP properties
for the entire switch. This dialog box can be launched from a Network Element object within the
Network or Physical views.
The Network Element object list (left-hand side of the dialog box) allows multiple objects to be selected,
so that configuration changes can be applied to multiple Network Element objects at the same time.

Syslog Message Details Area
The Syslog Message Details area of the C6576M Syslog dialog box provides the following information:
• Messages Not Recorded—The number of syslog messages not recorded. A message is not recorded
if it has a severity value greater than the Max. Syslog Severity attribute. This attribute is read-only.
• Messages Not Processed—The number of messages that were not processed due to a lack of system
resources. This attribute is read-only.
• Messages Deleted From Table—The number of messages that were deleted from the table in order
to make room for new messages. The maximum number of messages kept in the table is dependent
on the Max. Table Entries attribute. This attribute is read-only.
• Notifications Sent—The number of syslog notifications sent. This attribute is read-only.
• Max. Table Entries—The maximum number of messages in the syslog table. When this limit has
been reached, the oldest messages are deleted to make room for newer messages.
• Max. Syslog Severity—The maximum severity that will be recorded. Messages with a higher
numeric value of severity will not be recorded. This attribute has one of the following values (listed
in ascending order of severity):
–
emergency (1)
–
alert (2)
–
critical (3)
Chapter 6 Logical Object Dialog Boxes
Status Field
–
error (4)
–
warning (5)
–
notice (6)
–
info (7)
–
debug (8)
Note The greatest severity state has the smallest numeric value of severity. For example, the emergency state
has a value of (1) and is more severe than the info state, which has a value of (7). If you set Max. Syslog
Severity to 7, then all states except debug will be recorded. This is because the debug state has a value
of (8), which is greater than the value of the Max. Syslog Severity attribute.
• Enable Notifications—SNMP syslog notifications are sent whenever a new syslog message is
generated and recorded.
–
true—Notifications enabled.
–
false—Notifications disabled.
The Status display-only field located at the bottom of the window indicates the current state of the object.
This field has the following values:
• decommissioned—CEMF is not actively monitoring the object attributes.
6-30
• normal—Presence polling of the object.
• normallostcomms—CEMF has lost communication with the device from the normal state.
