config syslog host
Purpose
Used to configure the syslog protocol to send system log data to a remote host.
Syntax
config syslog host [all | <index 1-4>] {severity [informational | warning | all] | facility
[local0 | local1 | local2 | local3 | local4 | local5 | local6 | local7] | udp_port
<udp_port_number> | ipaddress <ipaddr> | state [enable | disable]
Description
The
config syslog host
command is used to configure the syslog protocol to send system
log information to a remote host.
<index 1-4>
−
Specifies that the command will be applied to an index of hosts. There are
four available indexes, numbered 1 through 4.
ipaddress <ipaddr>
−
Specifies the IP address of the remote host where syslog messages
will be sent.
severity
−
Severity level indicator. These are described in the following:
Bold font indicates that the corresponding severity level is currently supported on the
Switch.
Numerical Severity
Code
0 Emergency: system is unusable
1 Alert: action must be taken immediately
2 Critical: critical conditions
3 Error: error conditions
4 Warning: warning conditions
5 Notice: normal but significant condition
6 Informational: informational messages
7 Debug: debug-level messages
Parameters
informational

warning
−
Specifies that warning messages will be sent to the remote host. This
corresponds to number 4 from the list above.
all
−
Specifies that all of the currently supported syslog messages that are generated by the
Switch will be sent to the remote host.
facility
−
Some of the operating system daemons and processes have been assigned
Facility values. Processes and daemons that have not been explicitly assigned a Facility
may use any of the"local use" facilities or they may use the "user-level" Facility. Those
Facilities that have been designated are shown in the following: Bold font indicates the
facility values the Switch currently supports.
Parameters
Numerical Facility
Code
0 kernel messages
1 user-level messages
2 mail system
3 system daemons
