Syslog On S- K- and 7100-Series Switches

By default, Syslog is operational on S- K- and 7100-Series devices at startup. All generated messages are eligible for logging to local destinations and to remote servers configured as Syslog servers. Using simple CLI commands, you can adjust device defaults to configure the following:

• Message sources—which system applications on which modules should log messages
• Message destinations—will messages be sent to the local console, the local file system, or to remote Syslog servers? Which facility (functional process) will be allowed to send to each destination?

The following section provides an overview of Syslog features and functions supported on Extreme Networks devices and their default configurations. Later sections will provide instructions on changing default settings to suit your network logging needs.
