4.14 syslog

Configure/display system logging information

Syntax

syslog {on off}

syslog address host_addr syslog class class_value syslog message message_string syslog priority priority_value syslog status

Description

The syslog command sets the configuration of how significant events are recorded to a log that displays on the system console. The following events cause syslog messages to be generated:

•a remote site dials up

•a remote site dials in

•a critical error occurs

•the router reboots

•informational/debug messages are generated

Once you enter syslog on, the messages are displayed on the Router’s system console, even when the administrator is not logged onto the console. System log messages with priority LOG_WARNING or higher (4 through 0) are always sent to the console.

If a host is specified with the address subcommand, messages are also sent to the host with the address host_addr.

NOTE

The Router uses syslog to log significant events due to IPX and IP traffic. Sent over an IP network, messages related to significant IPX events are always displayed at the console, because the Router may be operating in an IPX-only environment, in which a syslog host does not exist.

Subcommands

off—disables local display of the system log information. The syslog on subcommand moves the display to the command terminal from which it was entered. For example, if the Router is currently displaying syslog messages on the serial console, entering syslog on from a telnet session will move the syslog messages to the telnet session.
