Switch configuration

To start the syslogd type the following command:

syslogdIp <IP address of the syslogd machine>

The command with no parameter prints the IP address of the current target
syslogd machine. An IP address of

0.0.0.0

disables the forwarding of error

messages to syslogd. In this case, error messages are still logged internally to
the Switch, but it is not forwarded to the syslogd.

Examples,

Enable and verify syslogd support:

=> syslogdIp “10.0.0.1”
=> syslogdIp

syslog daemon’s address: 10.0.0.1

Disable syslogd support:

=> syslogdIp “0.0.0.0”
=> syslogdIp

syslog daemon’s address: 0.0.0.0

syslogd configuration

The syslog configuration provides the syslogd with instructions on how to
handle different messages. The following are example entries in a syslog
configuration file (

/ etc/syslog.conf

), on how to store Switch error

messages stored in different files. Please refer to the syslog manual pages on
your UNIX system for the full documentation of the syslog configuration file.
The following entry in

/etc/syslog.conf

causes all messages from the

Switch

of UNIX priority warning or higher (Switch severity

LOG_WARNING

or higher) to be stored in the file

/var/adm/silkworm

.

local7.warning /var/adm/silkworm

The following entries in

/etc/syslog.conf

causes the messages from the

silkworm

of UNIX priority alert (Switch severity

LOG_CRITICAL

) to be

stored in the file

/var/adm/alert

, and all other messages from the Switch

to be stored in the file

/var/adm/silkworm

.

local7.alert /var/adm/alert
local7.debug /var/adm/silkworm
