Usage Guidelines
Use the
logging
command to identify a syslog server host to receive messages. By issuing this command more
than once, you build a list of syslog servers that receive messages.
When syslog messages are sent to a syslog server, the Cisco IOS XR software includes a numerical message
identifier in syslog messages. The message identifier is cumulative and sequential. The numerical identifier
included in syslog messages sent to syslog servers provides a means to determine if any messages have been
lost.
Use the
logging trap, on page 339
command to limit the messages sent to snmp server.
