Section II: Advanced Operations

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 of switch that produced them. This grouping
helps you determine which event 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 for using this parameter. The first approach
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 4.
