Configuring the switch
Configuring the switch involves specifying syslogd hosts and, optionally, setting the facility level. You can
also remove a host from the list of syslogd hosts.
To specify syslogd hosts
1. Connect to the switch and log in as admin.
2. Enter the syslogDipAdd command and specify an IP address.
3. Verify that the IP address was entered correctly, using the syslogDipShow command.
You can specify up to six host IP addresses for storing syslog messages, as shown in this example:
To set the facility level
1. Connect to the switch and log in as admin.
2. Enter the following command:

It is necessary to set the facility level only if you specified a facility other than local7 in the host
/etc/syslog.conf file.
To remove a syslogd host from the list
1. Connect to the switch and log in as admin.
2. Enter the syslogDipRemove command:
3. Verify the IP address was deleted using the syslogDipShow command.
