3 - Message Generation
This enables and disables the syslog server definition. If set to
disabled, which is the default, the switch does not send events to
the syslog server. When enabled, the switch sends events. The
default is disabled.
4 - Message Format
The information sent with each event. Choices are:
❑ Normal - sends the severity, module, and description.
❑ Extended - sends the same as Normal, plus the date, time, and
switch’s IP address. This is the default.
5 - 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 0-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 5.
