Anthony,

  Although the previous answers are correct they are not 100% accurate.

  The Management Server will get the logging and the fw logswitch command
 should be executed on that module. But when there is a communication
 problem between the module and the Mgmt Srv, the logs will remain on the
 Firewall module.

  The easiest way to check if the communication is ok, is to check with
 netstat -an, and see if you have a connection ESTABLISHED between both
 on port tcp/257.

Subject: [FW-1] FW Log Question?


Hi

I installed a CPFW 4.1 + SP3 module in a RS/6000 Machine and installed the
management module in a Windows NT Machine (GUI Client still installed in the
management module).

Where the log store in? in NT (management module) or in FW module.

I found that if I open the log viewer in NT machine, I can rotated the log
by opening a new log and the old log will store in the NT.

However When I typed "fw logswitch" in the FW module, this process will hang
and no new log generated.

How can I rotate the FW module's log file because it is very large?

Thanks!
