❑ Extended - sends the same as Normal, plus the date, time, and

switch’s IP address. This is the default.

Severity Selections
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 possible 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 1 on page 106. The default
is informational, error, and warning. To select more than one
severity level, hold down the Ctrl key when making your
selections.

Type
The type of output. There is only one supported value, Syslog. This
setting cannot be changed.

Syslog Server IP Addr.
The IP address of the syslog server.

Facility Level
The facility level to be added to the entries by the switch when it
sends them to the syslog server. You can use the facility level to
add a numerical code to the entries as they are transmitted to help
you group entries on the syslog server according to the
management module or switch that produced them. This can
help you determine which entries belong to which units when a
syslog server is collecting events from several difference network
devices. You can specify only one facility level.

There are two approaches to using this parameter. The first is to
use the DEFAULT setting. At this setting, the code is based on the
functional groupings defined in the RFC 3164 standard. The codes
that are applicable to the AT-S62 management software and its
modules are shown in Table 3.
