I'm no RedHat expert, but if it works the same as standard Unix (which I tink it does), you need to edit your /etc/syslog.conf file and direct the specific syslog events to a specific file.
Syslog events from a router by default are sent using the local7 facility, so if you do something like:
local7.* /var/adm/messages
(note there's a TAB between the facility type and the directory in this file) then your syslogs should be logged to that file. You'll have to stop/start the syslog server on the machine after you make the change.

If possible, use syslog-ng. It offers a more granular filtering ability for logs.
