Bay router Diffserv Log

[mtmachen]

Hello,

We are using VoIP on our nortel Bay routers. The diffserv traffic in the log is taking up all the log space. Any ideas on how to keep the diffserv traffic from filling the log would be great.

Thanks a bunch

You can use write filters to keep certain events out of the log. By default all entries are included. Use the log command followed by -i to include or -x to exclude. Additional filtering options are -e, -f, -s for entity, filter, and slot. Example:

log -i -ft -s2 -eOSPF (Includes only trace events for OSPF running on slot 2; that is ALL other events will be excluded.)

log -x -fdfitw -eIP (Excludes all IP events, on all slots.)

The command with no options means: log -i (include nothing), log -x (exclude nothing; this is the default).

To display active write filters in effect on a router, use:

log -z (for all slots) or log -z -s<slot> (for a specified slot)

NOTE: The display can be misleading, especially when using the include option. The filter options displayed with a letter such as FWITD are excluded. The options displayed by a dot are included in the log. For example:

[2:TN]$ log -i -eIPSEC -ffwi

[2:TN]$ log -z
Slot 4 log event filters:
IPSEC=T...D
Slot 1 log event filters:
IPSEC=T...D
Slot 2 log event filters:
IPSEC=T...D

Trace and debug for IPSEC are excluded, while fault warning and info are included.

What I can't remember is whether you can save the command to your PCMCIA card to make it permanent. You'll have to test that.

Good luck...
