Configuring The Switch - HP A7533A - Brocade 4Gb SAN Switch Base Administrator's Manual

In this example, Fabric OS messages map to local7 facility level 7 in the /etc/syslog.conf file:
local7.emerg
local7.alert
local7.crit
local7.err
local7.warning
local7.notice
local7.info
local7.debug
If you prefer to map Fabric OS severities to a different UNIX local7 facility level, see
level:" on page 297.

Configuring the switch

Configuring the switch involves specifying syslogd hosts and, optionally, setting the facility level. You can
also remove a host from the list of syslogd hosts.
To specify syslogd hosts:
1. Connect to the switch and log in as admin.
2. Enter the syslogDipAdd command and specify an IP address.
3. Verify that the IP address was entered correctly, using the syslogDipShow command.
The syslogdipadd command accepts IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. You can specify up to six host IP
addresses for storing syslog messages, as shown in this example:
switch:admin> syslogdipadd 1080::8:800:200C:417A
switch:admin> syslogdipadd 1081::8:800:200C:417A
switch:admin> syslogdipadd 1082::8:800:200C:417A
switch:admin> syslogdipadd 10.1.2.4
switch:admin> syslogdipadd 10.1.2.5
switch:admin> syslogdipadd 10.1.2.6
switch:admin> syslogdipshow
syslog.IP.address.1080::8:800:200C:417A
syslog.IP.address.1081::8:800:200C:417A
syslog.IP.address.1082::8:800:200C:417A
syslog.IP.address.4 10.1.2.4
syslog.IP.address.5 10.1.2.5
syslog.IP.address.6 10.1.2.6
To set the facility level:
1. Connect to the switch and log in as admin.
2. Enter the following command:
switch:admin> syslogdfacility -l n
n is a number from 0 through 7, indicating a UNIX local7 facility. The default is 7.
It is necessary to set the facility level only if you specified a facility other than local7 in the host
/etc/syslog.conf file.
