Hi,

The link you provide is good.

You can also follow the config guide doc I provided you in the last post:

Here is some of the sample config from the doc:

just change the IP to your server IP.

System Message Logging Example Configuration

The following example shows how to configure system message logging:

configure terminal

  logging console 3

  logging logfile my_log 6

  logging module 3

  logging level aaa 2

  logging timestamp milliseconds

  logging distribute

Hi,

I am not sure, if I understand your question.

Are you asking, if you use the same commands to configure logging server for 3750 and ASR series routers?

If yes, you would need to refere to documentation for each platform.
