Configuring The Switch; Specifying Syslogd Hosts; Setting The Facility Level; Removing A Syslogd Host From The List - HP A7533A - Brocade 4Gb SAN Switch Base User Manual

In the following 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 139.

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.

Specifying syslogd hosts

1. Connect to the switch and log in as admin.
2. Issue the syslogDipAdd command and specify an IP address.
3. Verify that the IP address was entered correctly, using the syslogDipShow command.
You can specify up to six host IP addresses for storing syslog messages, as shown in the following
example:
switch:admin> syslogdipadd 10.1.2.1
switch:admin> syslogdipadd 10.1.2.2
switch:admin> syslogdipadd 10.1.2.3
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.1 10.1.2.1
syslog.IP.address.2 10.1.2.2
syslog.IP.address.3 10.1.2.3
syslog.IP.address.4 10.1.2.4
syslog.IP.address.5 10.1.2.5
syslog.IP.address.6 10.1.2.6

Setting the facility level

You must set the facility level only if you specified a facility other than local7 in the host
/etc/syslog.conf file.
1. Connect to the switch and log in as admin.
2. Issue the following command:
syslogdfacility -l n
where n is a number from 0 through 7, indicating a UNIX local7 facility. The default is 7.

Removing a syslogd host from the list

1. Connect to the switch and log in as admin.
2. Issue the syslogDipRemove command:
switch:admin> syslogdipremove 10.1.2.1
