connected to the KVM ports. Obtain the facility number to use
for the KVM from the syslog server’s administrator. Values are
from 0 through 7. See “Syslog Servers” on page 42 for
examples of using facility numbers as needed. In addition, the
IP address of the syslog server must be configured, as described
