Disabling Or Re-Enabling Syslog; Specifying A Syslog Server - Dell PowerConnect B-RX Configuration Manual

Example of Syslog messages on a device whose onboard clock is not set
The example shows the format of messages on a device whose onboard system clock is not set.
Each time stamp shows the amount of time the device had been running when the message was
generated. For example, the most recent message, at the top of the list of messages, was
generated when the device had been running for 21 days, seven hours, two minutes, and 40
seconds.

Specifying a Syslog server

To specify a Syslog server, enter a command such as the following.
BigIron RX(config)# logging host 10.0.0.99
For backward compatibility, the software reads the old command syntax from the startup
configuration, and converts it to the new command syntax in the running configuration.
Syntax: logging host <ip-addr> | <server-name>
