11. Type 4 to toggle Message Format between the following options:

Normal
Sends the severity, module, and description for each event.

Extended
Sends the same information as Normal along with the date, time, and
switch’s IP address. This is the default.

12. Type 5 to select Facility Level.

The following prompt is displayed:

Enter Facility level (0-DEFAULT, 1-LOCAL1, 2-LOCAL2, 3-
LOCAL3, 4-LOCAL4, 5-LOCAL 5, 6-LOCAL6, 7-LOCAL7) -> [0
to 7] ->

This parameter adds a facility level to the entries when they are sent to
the syslog server. The facility level is a way for you to add a numerical
code to each entry to help you group entries on the syslog server
according to the module or switch that produced them. This grouping
helps you determine which events belong to which device when a
syslog server is collecting events from several network devices. You
can specify only one facility level.

There are two approaches to using this parameter. The first is to use
the 0-DEFAULT setting which is based on the functional groupings
defined in the RFC 3164 standard. The numerical codes that are
applicable to the AT-S63 management software and its modules are
shown in Table 5.
