4. Specify the priority level for events that the router forwards to the syslog
server:
Syntax: logging forwarding priority-level [info | notice | warning | error | fatal]
For example:
ProCurve(config)# logging forwarding priority-level notice
The priority level can be the same as or different than that for events
logged to the router's event history. The default setting is warning. The
router logs all events of that priority level or higher.
If you log informational or other low priority events, more processing
power is required on the ProCurve Secure Router, and more disk space is
required on the syslog server.
5. Forwarded logs, by default, have the source address of the interface used
to forward them. If you want all logs to have the same source address,
then you must specify a source interface. Use this global configuration
mode context command:
Syntax: logging forwarding source-interface <interface ID>

Forwarding Logs to an Email Address

You can also configure the ProCurve Secure Router to send logs to email
accounts. In this way, you and other network administrators can check up on
a network.
Forwarding logs to an email address can also be very useful when trouble-
shooting a problem between two remote sites. For example, problems with
routing protocols may affect an entire WAN. When you can examine events
on the remote router in your email, you can more easily troubleshoot the local
router. (Of course, if the local router loses total connectivity with a remote
router, you will not be able to receive logs from it through a local email server.)
You can also configure the router to send exception reports to one or more
email addresses.
