logging utility

Configures a switch to forward system messages to the configured syslog server(s) using RELP (Reliable Event Logging Protocol).

Syntax

logging utility enable relp
no logging utility enable

Parameters

relp
Specifies that the logging entries must be forwarded to the configured logging servers using RELP.

Modes

Global configuration mode

Usage Guidelines

Use this command to configure forwarding all system logs entries to the configured logging servers using Reliable Event Logging Protocol (RELP).

You can configure up to four SYSLOG servers; this includes all VRFs. You must execute the command for each server. The crypto import syslogca command is required for secure SYSLOG to be fully functional. After specifying the ip_address and vrf-name parameters, the secure sub-command can be used to specify the secure default port (6514) or to specify a secure non-default SYSLOG server port.

These sub-commands are only available after specifying the ip_address and vrf-name parameters. Use the no logging syslog-server command with the optional use-vrf keyword to remove the specified IP address and VRF.

By default, all management services are enabled on the management VRF (mgmt-vrf) and the default VRF (default-vrf).

Usage Guidelines

When enabling logging over RELP, keep the following in mind.
