Port keywords work as a filter. If a keyword is detected, a corresponding message be logged in a local port log and a corresponding trap will be sent via SNMP (if configured).
Defining keywords guarantees that only messages that contain those keywords are logged for the local port.
You can create port keywords and associate them with:
Syslog
Audit log
SNMP traps
To define keywords and associate them with a port:
Choose Device Settings > Port Keyword List > Keyword. The Port Keyword List page will open.
If no keywords have been created yet, the page will contain the message "There are no port keywords defined". If port keywords do exist, they will be listed on the Port Keyword List page.
Define a keyword for the first time, by clicking the Add button on the Port Keyword List page. The Add Keyword page will then open. Follow steps 3 - 5 to create new keywords.
Type a keyword in the Keyword field and then click the Add button. The keyword will be added to the page directly under the Keyword field and will appear on the Port Keyword List page once OK is selected. Add additional keywords by following the same steps (if needed).
In the Ports section of the page in the Available selection box, click the port or ports you want to associate with that keyword and click Add. The port associated with the keyword will then be moved to the Selected selection box. Continue adding ports as needed.
Click OK.
To remove ports from the selected list:
On the Add Keyword page, click the port in the Selected selection box and then click Remove.
To delete keywords:
On the Port Keyword List page, check the checkbox of the keyword you would like to delete.
Click the Delete button. A warning message will be displayed.
