Post by zemerdon »

On the Cisco Catalyst 2960 switch, open the Cisco command-line interface and begin a session.
Verify that you are in privileged EXEC mode on the switch. To enter Privileged EXEC mode, type the command:
enable

Switch to global configuration mode. Type the command:

configure terminal

Verify that logging is enabled. If logging has been disabled, type the command:

logging enable

Configure the switch to send log messages to Kiwi Syslog Server. Type the command:

logging host

where host is the name or IP address of the device where Kiwi Syslog Server is installed.

Limit the messages sent based on priority level. Type the command:

logging trap level

where level is one of the following, listed in descending order of priority:

emergencies
alerts
critical
errors
warnings
notifications
informational (default level)
debugging
The device sends messages with the specified priority level and above. For example, the level critical sends messages with priority levels of critical, alerts, and emergencies.

Return to privileged EXEC mode. Type the command:

end
