Networking and Multiple switches in a LAN send log information to the same log host. You can Configuration know the running status of each switch by displaying log information received.
Requirements
Network Requirements As multiple switches send log information to the same log host, you can set Analysis different values of the facility keyword for each switch to filter information on the
log host, thus avoiding failure in recognizing information source (for example, if the two hosts have the same name and the facility keywords are set to the default value local7, you cannot recognize the information source.).
