• VRRP events
• Wireless services events
• Use the logging command to select a subset of Event Log messages to send to an external
device for debugging purposes according to:
• Severity level
• System module
Hostname in syslog message
The syslog now messages the sender identified by hostname. The hostname field identifies the
switch that originally sends the syslog message. Configurable through the CLI and SNMP, the
format of the hostname field supports the following formats.
ip-address The IP address of the sending interface will be used as the message origin
identifier. This is the default format for the origin identifier. The IP address of the
sending interface (in dotted decimal notation) is the default format.
hostname The hostname of the sending switch will be used as the message origin identifier.
none No origin identifier will be embedded in the syslog message. Nilvalue is used
as defined by ““. This configuration is system-wide, not per syslog server.
NOTE: There is no support in this feature for menu interface, WebUI or a fully qualified domain
name. There are no changes in this feature to PCM or IDM. There are no new log events added
in this feature.
Using syslog servers
Adds an IP address to the list of receiving syslog servers.
Use of [no]without an IP address specified will remove all IP addresses from the list of syslog
receivers. If an IP address is specified, that receiver will be removed. Both link-local with zone ID
and global IPv6 addresses are supported.
• Specify syslog server facility with the option [facility]. The command no logging
facility <facility> sets the facility to defaults.
• Specify filtering rules.
• Specify severity for event messages to be filtered to the syslog server with the option
[severity]. The command [no]logging severity <severity> sets the severity to
default.
• Event messages of specified system module will be sent to the syslog server. Using [no] sends
messages from all system modules. Messages are first filtered by selected severity.
• Specify syslog server transport layer with options [[udp]|[tcp]|[tls]].
• Specify syslog server port number with options [[udp PORT-NUM] | [tcp PORT-NUM]
| [tls PORT-NUM]].
• Specify notification types to be sent to the syslog server.
• Use the option [transmission-interval] to control the egress rate limit for transmitting
notifications, 0 value means there is no rate limit (values are in seconds.) Only one syslog
message is allowed for transmission within specified time interval.
• Specify the origin information for the syslog messages with the option origin-id
