Enabling Syslog and Modem Call Records in the Cisco IOS Software

To enable syslog messages in the Cisco IOS software and send them to a syslog server, follow these steps:

Step 1 Inspect the current logging status by entering the following command:

travis-nas-01#show logging

Syslog logging: enabled (0 messages dropped, 0 flushes, 0 overruns)

Console logging: level debugging, 42 messages logged

Monitor logging: level debugging, 93 messages logged

Buffer logging: level debugging, 3 messages logged

Trap logging: level informational, 121 message lines logged

Log Buffer (8192 bytes): travis-nas-01#

Step 2 Set up a basic syslog configuration by entering the following commands. See Table 20 for command descriptions.

!

logging buffered 10000 debugging no logging console guaranteed logging console informational
