syslog-servers

This command configures the Syslog Servers table, which allows you to configure multiple (up to four) secondary remote syslog servers to where the device sends syslog messages.

(config-troubleshoot)# syslog
(syslog)# syslog-servers <Index>
(syslog-servers-<Index>)#

■

To configure the primary syslog server, see syslog.

■

Duplicated secondary syslog servers configuration is invalid (i.e., cannot have the same IP address and port) and none can have the same IP address and port as the primary syslog server.

■

The syslog sequence number resets if the device is restart.

Example

This example configures a secondary syslog server:

(config-troubleshoot)# syslog
(syslog)# syslog-servers 0
(syslog-servers-0)# ip-address 10.14.5.3
(syslog-servers-0)# mode Enabled
(syslog-servers-0)# severity-level Alert
