Usage Guidelines
Normally, a syslog message contains the IP address of the interface it uses to leave the networking device.
Use the
logging source-interface
command to specify that syslog packets contain the IP address of a particular
interface, regardless of which interface the packet uses to exit the networking device.
Use the
logging, on page 308
