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.
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 2 on page 124. 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 4.
