Set the direction of syslog outputting log information

As described before, Syslog of the 3Com Router 1.x can output various log information in four directions:

■Output log information to local control console via Console port

■Output log information to remote Telnet terminal or dumb terminal. This function is helpful to remote maintenance.

■Allocate proper router buffer to record log information.

■By configuring the log host, log information is directly sent by Syslog to the log host and then saved as file for later view.

Please enter the following commands in system view.

Here, Console and Monitor stand for default output directions.

The setting of output direction of the log information will be effective only if

Syslog is turned on.

The settings of the output log information in four directions are independent. The shutdown of an output in any direction will not affect the output in other directions.

When there are multiple telnet users or dumb terminal users simultaneously, various users share the same configuration parameters, which include the filtering setting based on the module, Chinese/English selection and severity threshold. When a user changes the values of these parameters, other user terminals will also be affected. At this time, the undo info-center monitor command can only turn off the log information output on the respective terminal. Therefore, to turn off the log information outputs of all telnet terminals and dumb terminals, please use the undo info-center monitor all command.
