Disabling Logging to Remote Syslog Server Targets

To disable logging to all remote syslog server targets, use this command:
disable syslog
NOTE
This command disables logging to all remote syslog server targets, not to the switch targets. This
setting is saved in FLASH and will be in effect upon boot up.

Adding a Syslog Server

A total of four syslog servers can be configured at one time.
To configure the remote syslog server, use this command:
configure syslog {add} <host name/ip> {: <udp-port>} [local0 ... local7] {<severity>}
where:
host name
ip
udp-port
local0 ... local7
severity
NOTE
When a remote syslog server is added, it is associated with the filter DefaultFilter. Use the
configure log target filter

Deleting a Remote Syslog Server

To delete a remote syslog server target, use this command:
configure syslog delete <host name/ip> {: <udp-port>} [local0 ... local7]
