Syslog messages are generated for failed telnet login attempts. Via telnet (optionally you can enter this as the first line of a configuration file,) make a test user account such as

Code:

USER CREATE test test

and try to telnet in with the wrong username or password, you should receive a Syslog message as shown below.

Code:

11-12-2001 13:40:47 User.Notice 10.0.0.1 login: Incorrect username or password<000>

SAMPLE TELNET SESSION

Code:

C:\>Telnet 10.0.0.1
Lightning MultiCom release 2.6.1 ready.
UserName : blahblah
Password :
Login incorrect
UserName :

If you do not receive the Syslog message, verify that the Syslog functionality is activated on your MultiCom Router in the configuration file.
