can switch send log to windows platform syslog server?

[xu]

I want config 4006/36xx send syslog information to a syslog server base on windows platform( is 3CDaemon), but router 36xx can send the syslog message to the syslog server,but the 4006 can't.

I doubt the switch can only send to unix platform not the windows.

so pls help to confirm it.

thanks

The syslog functionality is platform-independent.

All it takes is to configure logging to the required IP adress and redirecting the messages for a certain log-level to the trap-destination.

I find it hard to believe that this basic functionality does not work on the 4000 platform although I have never seen one myself yet.

configure logging like on the 3600: logging

Then do a -sh logging- and check where your messages are sent to.

Feel free to post the output if anything is unclear.

yes, I first think so,but when I use the 3com SW,I only received the message from router but the swith.

the router only need command like below.

!

logging source-interface Port-channel1

logging 10.2.0.103

Core4006-L3#sh logging

Syslog logging: enabled (0 messages dropped, 0 flushes, 0 overruns)

Console logging: level debugging, 28 messages logged

Monitor logging: level debugging, 5 messages logged

Logging to: vty2(3)

Buffer logging: level debugging, 28 messages logged

Trap logging: level informational, 28 message lines logged

Logging to 10.2.0.103, 5 message lines logged

the switch need command like below:

Core4006> (enable) sh logging

Logging buffer size: 500

timestamp option: enabled

Logging history size: 1

Logging console: disabled

Logging telnet: enabled

Logging server: enabled

server facility: LOCAL7

server severity: warnings(4)

Current Logging Session: enabled

I found a URL that describes how to configure logging correctly.

Hope it helps:

Hi,thanks very much!, I read the file u send, I can confirm what I do is same with the file asked.

and pls notice that paragraph "Configuring the syslog Daemon on a UNIX syslog Server". it's only say the unix syslog daemon, not the NT platform.
