User Guidelines

The logging process controls the distribution of logging messages to the various destinations, such as

the logging buffer, logging file, or syslog server. Logging on and off for these destinations can be

individually configured using the logging buffered, logging file, and logging global configuration

commands. However, if the logging on command is disabled, no messages are sent to these

destinations. Only the console receives messages.

Example

The following example shows how logging is enabled.

Console (config)# logging on

5.24.2 logging

The logging global configuration command logs messages to a syslog server. To delete the syslog

server with the specified address from the list of syslogs, use the no form of this command.
