Configuring the UNIX System Logging Facility

When sending system log messages to an external device, you can cause the switch to identify its

messages as originating from any of the UNIX syslog facilities.

Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to configure UNIX system facility message

logging:

To remove a syslog server , use the no logging host global configuration command, and specify the syslog

server IP address. To disable logging to syslog servers, enter the no logging trap global configuration

command.

Table22-4 lists the UNIX system facilities supported by the Cisco IOS software. For more information

about these facilities, consult the operator’s manual for your UNIX operating system.

Command Purpose

Step1 configure terminal Enter global configuration mode.

Step2 logging host Log messages to a UNIX syslog server host by entering its IP address.

To build a list of syslog servers that receive logging messages, enter this

command more than once.

Step3 logging trap level Limit messages logged to the syslog servers.

Be default, syslog servers receive informational messages and lower. See

Table22-3 on pa ge 22-8 for level keywords.

Step4 logging facility facility-type Configure the syslog facility. See Table 22-4 on page 22-11 for

facility-type keywords.

The default is local7.

Step5 end Return to privileged EXEC mode.

Step6 show running-config Verify your entries.

Step7 copy running-config startup-config (Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.
