Configuring a syslog IP address
The syslog IP address represents the IP address of the server that is running the syslog process. The
syslog daemon reads and forwards system messages to the appropriate log files or users, depending
on the system configuration. When one or more IP addresses are configured, the switch forwards all
error log entries to the syslog on the specified servers. Up to six servers are supported. Refer to the
Fabric OS Administrator's Guide for more information on configuring the syslog daemon.
To configure a syslog IP address, perform the following steps.
