# mkdir /var/log/SW5500

b Edit file
/etc/syslog.conf
as the super user (root), add the following
selector/actor pairs.
# SW5500 configuration messages
local7.info /var/log/SW5500/information
Note the following points when editing /etc/syslog.conf:
(1) The note must occupy a line and start with the character #.
(2) There must be a tab other than a space as the separator in selector/actor pairs.
(3) No redundant space after file name.
(4) The device name and the acceptant log information level specified in
/etc/syslog.conf must be consistent with info-center loghost and info-center loghost
a.b.c.d facility configured on the Switch. Otherwise, the log information probably
cannot be output to the loghost correctly.
