Be default, syslog servers receive informational messages and lower. See Table 27-3 on page 27-9 for level keywords. Configure the syslog facility. See Table 27-4 on page 27-12 for facility-type keywords. The default is local7. Return to privileged EXEC mode. Verify your entries. (Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file. To remove a syslog server, use the no logging host global configuration command, and specify the syslog server IP address. To disable logging to syslog servers, enter the no logging trap global configuration command. Table 27-4 lists the UNIX system facilities supported by the software.

Configuring System Message Logging

To remove a syslog server, use the

no logging

host

global configuration command, and specify the syslog

server IP address. To disable logging to syslog servers, enter the

no logging trap

global configuration

command.

Table 27-4

lists the UNIX system facilities supported by the software. For more information about these

facilities, consult the operator’s manual for your UNIX operating system.

Step 3

logging trap

level

Limit messages logged to the syslog servers.

Be default, syslog servers receive informational messages and lower. See

Table 27-3 on page 27-9

for

level

keywords.

Step 4

logging facility

facility-type

Configure the syslog facility. See

Table 27-4 on page 27-12

for

facility-type

keywords.

The default is

local7

Step 5

end

Return to privileged EXEC mode.

Step 6

show running-config

Verify your entries.

Step 7

copy running-config startup-config

(Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.
