2 Configuration on the loghost

This configuration is performed on the loghost.

a Perform the following command as the super user (root).

# mkdir /var/log/SW5500

# touch /var/log/SW5500/information

b Edit file /etc/syslog.conf as the super user (root), add the following

selector/actor pairs.

# SW5500 configuration messages

local7.info /var/log/SW5500/information

Note the following points when editing /etc/syslog.conf:

(1) The note must occupy a line and start with the character #.

(2) There must be a tab other than a space as the separator in selector/actor pairs.

(3) No redundant space after file name.

(4) The device name and the acceptant log information level specified in

/etc/syslog.conf must be consistent with info-center loghost and info-center loghost

a.b.c.d facility configured on the Switch. Otherwise, the log information probably

cannot be output to the loghost correctly.
