Logging to a Remote Host

The switch comes from the factory with local logging enabled, which instructs the switch firmware to maintain an event log in switch memory. The switch can also be configured to log events to a remote host that supports the syslog protocol. This requires that you enable remote logging on the switch and specify an IP address for the remote host.

NOTE: To log event messages on a remote host, you must edit the syslog.conf file on the remote host and then restart the syslog daemon. The syslog.conf file must contain an entry that specifies the name of the log file. Add the following line to the syslog.conf file. A <tab> separates the selector field (local0.info) and action field which contains the log file path name (/var/adm/messages/messages.name).

local0.info <tab> /var/adm/messages/messages.name

Consult your host operating system documentation for information on how to configure remote logging.

The Set Setup System command controls local logging through the LocalLogEnabled parameter and remote logging through the RemoteLogEnabled and RemoteLogHostAddress parameters as shown in the following example:
