Networking: Syslog configuration in Router

Syslog is a standard for forwarding log messages in an IP network. The term “syslog” is often used for both the actual syslog protocol, as well as the application or library sending syslog messages .

a) Enabling Syslog

Router#configure terminal
Router(config)#logging on –> Enables Logging on the Router
Router(config)#logging –> Logs to be forwarded to the Server IP

Note : IP address should be the IP Address of Monitoring server

b ) Disabling Syslog

Router(config)#no logging on –> Enables Logging on the Router
Router(config)#no logging –> Logs to be forwarded to the Server IP
