logging to a cisco 3750 switch

[Tahree]

I have Cisco 3750 switch which is connected via console comm5 port to my laptop and in the same laptop I have installed a kiwi Sys log server. I have done all the configurations to log all my messages to the server but it isnot logging anything ? The default port number to which server is listening to is UDP 69 ? Is it the port number issue or something else ?

Hi there,

The switch will not send syslog messages to your laptop via the console lead.

You need to add  some configuration to the switch. Assuming your laptop (and therefore the kiwi service) has an IP of 192.168.1.1/24), try the following:

!
vlan 10
  name vlan01
!
int vlan 10
  ip address 192.168.1.254 255.255.255.0
!
Int gi1/0/1
  switchport mode access
  switchport access vlan 10
  spanning-tree portfast
!
logging server 192.168.1.1
!

Plug your laptop into Gi1/0/1

Cheers,

Seb.
