For example, selecting LOCAL2 as the facility level assigns the
numerical code of 18 to all events sent to the syslog server by the
switch.

6 - Event Severity
The severity of events to be sent by the switch to the syslog server.
Event severity is a predefined value assigned to an event by the switch
according to its potential impact on the switch’s operation. You can use
this parameter to configure the switch to send only those events that
match one or more severity levels. There are four severity levels, as
defined in Table 4 on page 219. The default is informational, error, and
warning. You can specify more than one severity level (for example,
E,W).

7 - Event Module
The originating module of the events to be sent to the syslog server.
The AT-S62 management software consists of a number of modules,
each responsible for a different part of switch operation. You can use
this parameter to instruct the switch to send only those events that
originated from selected modules. The default is ALL, which sends the
events from all modules. The modules are defined in Table 5 on
page 220. You can specify more than one module (for example,
CLI,MAC,STP).

7. After you have configured the syslog server definition, type C to select

Create Log Output.

The switch immediately begins to send events to the server, if you
enabled the definition when you created it, and adds the new syslog
server definition to the Configure Log Outputs menu. An example of
the menu with a syslog server definition is shown in Figure 64.
