1. Log in as admin.
2. Issue the syslogdIpAdd command with the following syntax:
syslogdipadd IP_address_of_the_remote_syslogd_host
3. Verify that the IP address was entered correctly by issuing the syslogdIpShow command.
The following example shows how to configure the MP Router to dispatch error log messages to a remote
syslogd host at IP address 10.10.10.1 and then verify that configuration:
Disabling syslogd
To disable logging of error messages to a previously enabled remote syslogd host:
