N5k & accounting

[MASP]

Hi guys,

I am wondering why I see a user "id=ppm.XXXX" in my accounting logs ?

Ex :

Thu Aug 22 22:46:55 2013:type=update:id=ppm.5415:user=admin:cmd=configure terminal ; interface Ethernet103/1/26-29 (SUCCESS)

Thu Aug 22 22:46:55 2013:type=update:id=ppm.5415:user=admin:cmd=configure terminal ; interface Ethernet103/1/26-29 ; switchport access vlan 147 (SUCCESS)

Thu Aug 22 22:46:55 2013:type=update:id=ppm.5415:user=admin:cmd=configure terminal ; interface Ethernet103/1/26-29 ; ip port access-group backupvl147 in (SUCCESS)

Thu Aug 22 22:46:55 2013:type=update:id=ppm.5415:user=admin:cmd=configure terminal ; interface Ethernet103/1/26-29 ; spanning-tree port type edge (SUCCESS)

Thu Aug 22 22:46:55 2013:type=update:id=ppm.5415:user=admin:cmd=configure terminal ; interface Ethernet103/1/31-34 (SUCCESS)

... [Omitted output]

This N5k rebooted itself 2 minutes before those logs and It looks like this "user" configured several interfaces. I think this is the system configuring those interface during the boot sequence but I want to be sure.

Anyone ?

Thx

Hi,

The only thing I can say (from my experience with Nexus5k/2k) is that this record "user id - ppm.XXXX" means a change configuration via Configuration Synchronization - conf sync, switch-profile, etc...

Thx for the reply aukhadiev.

I checked into my N5ks and you're right, it seems that every time I use switch-profile I have this kind of logs.

So maybe it is the swith-profile sync after the reload ... make sence for me.
