■Configuration on the log host.

The following configurations were performed on SunOS 4.0 which has similar configurations with the Unix operating systems implemented by other vendors.

#Execute the following commands as a root user.

#mkdir /var/log/3Com

#touch /var/log/3Com/information

#Edit the file /etc/syslog.conf as a root user and add the following selector/action pairs.

#3Com configuration messages

local4.info /var/log/3Com/information

#After the log file information has been created and the configuration file /etc/syslog.conf has been modified, ensure that the configuration file /etc/syslog.conf is reread by executing the following commands:

#ps -ae grep syslogd

147

# kill -HUP 147

■Configuration on the log host.

#mkdir /var/log/3Com

#touch /var/log/3Com/information

#3Com configuration messages

local4.info	/var/log/3Com/information
#

#ps -ae grep syslogd 147

#kill -HUP 147

Precautions Note the following issues while editing the /etc/syslog.conf file:

■Comments must be on a separate line and must begin with the # sign.

■The selector/action pair must be separated with a tab key, rather than a space.

■No redundant spaces are allowed in the file name.

■The device name and the accepted severity of log information specified by the /etc/syslog.conf file must be identical to those configured on the device using the info-center loghost and info-center source commands; otherwise the log information may not be output properly to the log host.
