Example for Outputting Logs to the Log File
Huawei AR150 & AR200 & AR1220 & AR2200 & AR3200 Series Enterprise Routers Configuration Guide: Example for outputting logs to the log file
 Networking Requirements
As shown in Figure 1, RouterA connects to the FTP server through the network. The network administrator wants to use the FTP server to view logs generated by RouterA and learn operations on RouterA.
 NOTE
FTP cannot secure secure file transfer. SFTP is recommended on networks that require high security.

Huawei router Configuration Roadmap
The configuration roadmap is as follows:
1. Enable the information center.
2. Configure a channel and a rule for outputting logs to a log file so that logs are saved in the log file.
3. Configure RouterA to transfer the log file to the FTP server so that the network
administrator can use the FTP server to view logs generated by RouterA.
 Procedure
Step 1 Enable the information center.
<Huawei> system-view
[Huawei] sysname RouterA
[RouterA] info-center enable
 Step 2 Configure a channel and a rule for outputting logs to a log file.
# Configure a channel for outputting logs to a log file.
 [RouterA] info-center logfile channel channel6
 NOTE
By default, channel 9 is used to send logs to a log file. If the default setting is used, skip this step.
 # Configure a rule for outputting logs to a log file.
[RouterA] info-center source ip channel channel6 log level warning
 Step 3 Configure RouterA to transfer the log file to the FTP server.
# Log in to the FTP server.
<RouterA> ftp 10.1.1.1
Trying 10.1.1.1 ...
Press CTRL+K to abort
Connected to 10.1.1.1.
220 WFTPD 2.0 service (by Texas Imperial Software) ready for new user

# Configure RouterA to transfer the log file to the FTP server.
[RouterA-ftp] put sd1:/logfile/log.log
200 PORT command okay
150 "D:\UPDATE\log.log" file ready to receive in ASCII mode
226 Transfer finished successfully.
FTP: 2761463 byte(s) sent in 26.062 second(s) 105.95Kbyte(s)/sec.
[RouterA-ftp] quit
 Step 4 Verify the configuration.
