ARAMETERS

These parameters are displayed:

Remote Log Status – Enables/disables the logging of debug or error

messages to the remote logging process. (Default: Disabled)

Logging Facility – Sets the facility type for remote logging of syslog

messages. There are eight facility types specified by values of 16 to 23.

The facility type is used by the syslog server to dispatch log messages

to an appropriate service.
The attribute specifies the facility type tag sent in syslog messages (see

RFC 3164). This type has no effect on the kind of messages reported by

the switch. However, it may be used by the syslog server to process

messages, such as sorting or storing messages in the corresponding

database. (Range: 16-23, Default: 23)

Logging Trap Level – Limits log messages that are sent to the remote

syslog server for all levels up to the specified level. For example, if level

3 is specified, all messages from level 0 to level 3 will be sent to the

remote server. (Range: 0-7, Default: 7)

Server IP Address – Specifies the IPv4 or IPv6 address of a remote

server which will be sent syslog messages.
