Remote Logging

“In its most simplistic terms, the syslog protocol provides a transport to allow a machine to send event notification messages across IP networks to event message collectors - also known as syslog servers.” – RFC 3164

Configure remote logging to view log files from the switch on a remote server. This functionality is enabled by syslog.

NOTE The default facility is 3(DAEMON).

Configuration commands

(switch(config)#) Configure logging:

logging IP-ADDR
