Table 10 lists the corresponding domain ID values for each interop mode: Standard mode and McDATA
Fabric mode.
Syslog
The Syslog (Remote Logging) feature enables saving of the log information to a remote host that supports
the syslog protocol. When enabled, the log entries are sent to the syslog host at the IP address that you
specify in the Logging Host IP Address field. Log entries are saved in the internal switch log whether this
feature is enabled or not.
To save log information to a remote host, you must edit the syslog.conf file (located on the remote host) and
then restart the syslog daemon. Consult your operating system documentation for information on how to
configure Remote Logging. The syslog.conf file on the remote host must contain an entry that specifies the
name of the log file in which to save error messages. Add the following line to the syslog.conf file. A <tab>
separates the selector field (local0.info) and action field that contains the log file path name
(/var/adm/messages/messages.name).
local0.info <tab> /var/adm/messages.name
Symbolic name
The symbolic name is a user-defined name of up to 32 characters that identifies the switch. The symbolic
name is used in the displays and data windows to help identify switches. The illegal characters are the
pound sign (#), semi-colon (;), and comma (,).
