Changing the number of entries the local buffer can hold

The number of entries that the Syslog buffer can hold cannot be changed. The buffer can hold up
to 3800 lines.

Changing the log facility

The Syslog daemon on the Syslog server uses a facility to determine where to log the messages
from the device. The default facility for messages the device sends to the Syslog server is "user".
You can change the facility using the following command.
NOTE
You can specify only one facility. If you configure the device to use two Syslog servers, the device
uses the same facility on both servers.
BigIron RX(config)# logging facility local0
Syntax: logging facility <facility-name>
The <facility-name> can be one of the following:
