Configuring Local and Remote Logging

This example shows how to enable switch auditing and CLI command
logging. Log messages with a severity level of Notification (level 5) and above
are sent to the RAM (buffered) log. Emergency, Critical, and Alert (level 2)
log messages are written to the log file on the flash drive. All log messages are
displayed on the console and sent to a remote syslog server.
To configure the switch:
1
Enable switch auditing and CLI command logging.
console#configure
console(config)#logging audit
console(config)#logging cli-command
2
Specify where the logs are sent locally and what severity level of message is
to be logged. You can specify the severity as the level number, as shown in
the first two commands, or as the keyword, shown in the third command.
console(config)#logging buffered 5
console(config)#logging file 2
console(config)#logging console debugging
3
Define the remote log server.
console(config)#logging 192.168.2.10
console(Config-logging)#description "Syslog
Server"
console(Config-logging)#level debug
console(Config-logging)#exit
console(config)#exit
