The following sections describe each step in the Syslog configuration sequence.
Configuring
syslogd
on a UNIX Workstation
Before you configure and activate Syslog on any routers, configure syslogd on
UNIX network management workstations in your network. This helps prevent the
loss of event messages that you may want to capture as you begin to enable Syslog
on each router.
For syslogd to properly dispatch event messages, you must edit the /etc/
syslog.conf file, in which you define destinations for the event messages.
Configure syslogd on your UNIX workstation, as follows:
1.
Log in as superuser:
su root
2.
Open the
syslog.conf
file and examine the facility level indicators, which
are in the form local
<0 - 7>
.
<fault
|
warning
|
info
|
trace
|
debug>
.
3.
Edit
syslog.conf
to accommodate message handling for your management
workstation.
4.
Save the changes you made to
syslog.conf
.
