Configuring the Syslog service

A

Example of Syslog messages on a device whose onboard clock is not set
The example shows the format of messages on a device whose onboard system clock is not set.  
Each time stamp shows the amount of time the device had been running when the message was 
generated.  For example, the most recent message, at the top of the list of messages, was 
generated when the device had been running for 21 days, seven hours, two minutes, and 40 
seconds.

Disabling or re-enabling Syslog

Syslog is enabled by default. To disable it, enter the following command at the global CONFIG level.

BigIron RX(config)# no logging on

Syntax: [no] logging on [

<udp-port>

]

The 

<udp-port>

 parameter specifies the application port used for the Syslog facility.  The default is 

514.

To re-enable logging, enter the following command.

BigIron RX(config)# logging on

This command enables local Syslog logging with the following defaults:

•

Messages of all severity levels (Emergencies – Debugging) are logged.

•

Up to 50 messages are retained in the local Syslog buffer.

•

No Syslog server is specified.

Specifying a Syslog server

To specify a Syslog server, enter a command such as the following.

BigIron RX(config)# logging host 10.0.0.99 

For backward compatibility, the software reads the old command syntax from the startup 
configuration, and converts it to the new command syntax in the running configuration.

Syntax: logging host 

<ip-addr>

 | 

<

server-name> 

BigIron RX(config)# show log

Syslog logging: enabled (0 messages dropped, 0 flushes, 0 overruns)

    Buffer logging: level ACDMEINW, 38 messages logged

    level code: A=alert C=critical D=debugging M=emergency E=error

                I=informational N=notification W=warning

Static Log Buffer:

Dynamic Log Buffer (50 entries):
