Configuring the Syslog service

A

Disabling or re-enabling Syslog

Syslog is enabled by default. To disable it, enter the following command at the global CONFIG level.

BigIron RX(config)# no logging on

Syntax: [no] logging on [<udp-port>]

The <udp-port> parameter specifies the application port used for the Syslog facility. The default is
514.

To re-enable logging, enter the following command.

BigIron RX(config)# logging on

This command enables local Syslog logging with the following defaults:

Messages of all severity levels (Emergencies – Debugging) are logged.

Up to 50 messages are retained in the local Syslog buffer.

No Syslog server is specified.

Specifying a Syslog server

To specify a Syslog server, enter a command such as the following.

BigIron RX(config)# logging host 10.0.0.99

For backward compatibility, the software reads the old command syntax from the startup
configuration, and converts it to the new command syntax in the running configuration.

Syntax: logging host <ip-addr> | <server-name>

Specifying an additional Syslog server

To specify an additional Syslog server, enter the logging host <ip-addr> command again, as in the
following example. You can specify up to six Syslog servers.

Enter a command such as the following.

BigIron RX(config)# show log

Syslog logging: enabled (0 messages dropped, 0 flushes, 0 overruns)

level code: A=alert C=critical D=debugging M=emergency E=error
