sent to the User log facility (default) on the configured server(s) or to another log facility that you
specify.

Syslog Operation
Syslog is a client-server logging tool that allows a client switch to send event notification messages
to a networked device operating with Syslog server software. Messages sent to a Syslog server can
be stored to a file for later debugging analysis. Use of Syslog requires that you set up a Syslog server
application on a networked host accessible to the switch. (Refer to the documentation for the Syslog
server application you select.)
Syntax: [no] logging < syslog-ip-addr >
Enables or disables Syslog messaging to the specified IP
address. You can configure up to six addresses.
no logging removes all currently configured Syslog logging
destinations from the switch.
no logging < syslog-ip-address > removes only the specified Syslog
logging destination from the switch.
Two switches sending Event Log
messages to the same facility on a
single Syslog server.
