Huawei S Series Switch

 

The Huawei S Series Switch DSM for JSA can accept events from Huawei S Series Switch appliances by using syslog.

JSA records all relevant IPv4 events that are forwarded from Huawei S Series Switches. To integrate your device with JSA, you must configure a log source, then configure your S Series Switch to forward syslog events.

Supported Switches

The DSM supports events from the following Huawei S Series Switches:

  • S5700

  • S7700

  • S9700

Configuring a Log Source

JSA does not automatically discover incoming syslog events from Huawei S Series Switches.

If your events are not automatically discovered, you must manually create a log source from the Admin tab in JSA.

  1. Log in to JSA.
  2. Click the Admin tab.
  3. On the navigation menu, click Data Sources.
  4. Click the Log Sources icon.
  5. Click Add.
  6. In the Log Source Name field, type a name for your log source.
  7. In the Log Source Description field, type a description for the log source.
  8. From the Log Source Type list, select Huawei S Series Switch.
  9. From the Protocol Configuration list, select Syslog.
  10. Configure the following values:

    Table 1: Syslog Protocol Parameters

    Parameter

    Description

    Log Source Identifier

    Type the IP address, host name, or name for the log source as an identifier for your Huawei S Series switch.

    Each log source that you create for your Huawei S Series switch must include a unique identifier, such as an IP address or host name.

  11. Click Save.
  12. On the Admin tab, click Deploy Changes.

    The log source is added to JSA. You are now ready to configure your Huawei S Series Switch to forward events to JSA.

Configuring Your Huawei S Series Switch

To forward syslog events to JSA, you must configure your Huawei S Series Switch as an information center, then configure a log host.

The log host you create for your Huawei S Series Switch can forward events to your JSA console or an Event Collector.

  1. Log in to your Huawei S Series Switch command-line Interface (CLI).
  2. Type the following command to access the system view:

    system-view

  3. Type the following command to enable the information center:

    info-center enable

  4. Type the following command to send informational level log messages to the default channel:

    info-center source default channel loghost log level informational debug state off trap state off

  5. Optional: To verify your Huawei S Series Switch source configuration, type the command:

    display channel loghost

  6. Type the following command to configure the IP address for JSA as the log host for your switch:

    info-center loghost <IP address> facility <local>

    Where:

    • <IP address> is the IP address of the JSA console or Event Collector.

    • <local> is the syslog facility, for example, local0.

    For example,

    info-center loghost 10.10.10.1 facility local0

  7. Type the following command to exit the configuration:

    quit

    The configuration is complete. You can verify events that are forwarded to JSA by viewing events on the Log Activity tab.
