Configures a switch to forward system messages to specified servers.
Synopsis
syslogdipadd ip_address
Description
Use this command to configure a switch to forward all error log entries to the syslog daemon
(syslogd) of one or more specified servers. The syslog daemon is a process available on most UNIX
systems that reads and forwards system messages to the appropriate log files or users, depending
on the system configuration. Up to six servers are supported.
Only one syslogd server can be specified at any given time. To configure more than one server, the
command must be executed for each server.
Note
The execution of this command is subject to Virtual Fabric or Admin Domain restrictions that may
be in place. Refer to chapter 1, "Using Fabric OS commands" and Appendix A, "Command
Availability" for details.
