Re: Obtaining Syslog message from a Cisco Router
Edward Butler stated the following on Tue, Feb 03, 2004 at 03:38:19PM - : I am looking to dump the log files from various Cisco routers on to one of various FreeBSD boxes we are running ( mainly FreeBSD 4.4 ) once the logs have been dumped to then rotate these in a similar way that other system logs files are rotated - dns, www and mail etc... My question is - do I need to compile a specific syslog collector or will syslog on its own be able to handle these messages? Also how can I reconfigure logrotate to include these log files? I use syslog-ng for this because it has some nice filtering options. One of which is source hostname/ip address. This means each router gets its own logfile along with a messages file for all the routers messages. Most of the engineers in the NOC tend to just leave this being tail'd in a terminal as a handy way on watching for issues. syslog-ng really is the way to go.

bge driver issue
I have a dell poweredge 2550 with which I am having all sorts of nasty network problems. The network interface will just stop responding. I get an error message like this: Jun 18 08:19:38 shekondar /kernel: bge0: watchdog timeout -- resetting This is using the broadcom 10/100/1000 NIC on the mother board, the intel 10/100 has had similar issues but produces no log messages. duplex and speed settings are forced on both the card and the switch. sometimes the kernel reset will clear the fault but sometimes you need to ifconfig down / up the interface to get it going again. This box has been running fine for several weeks, it is only as we have started to shift to production levels of traffic to it that it has started this. Approx 30M bits/sec out and 12M bits/sec inbound. There was a simple ipfw ruleset on the box but I have disable that just now to see if it helps. Googleing has given me people who report similar problems but no solutions / work arounds. Have anyone got any suggestions as to what to do next.

There were a number of changes made to the bge driver a month or so ago which are supposed to help with some problems. If you are running 4.5-RELEASE you will certaintly have trouble. Sorry uname -a says: FreeBSD shekondar.heanet.ie 4.6-RC FreeBSD 4.6-RC #0: Fri May 24 15:48:31 IST 2002 I have seen this happen with the fxp interface as well and I have seen this mail http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=22093+0+current/freebsd-isp which leads me to believe that switching to using the intel pro1000 car don the box will do me no good either.
