How to exclude a notification?

[Fergal Meehan]

Hi,

We currently send all notifications (LEVEL 5) to a syslog server.

Recently the NLBs (teaming softwares) have been creating a lot of MAC flaps and as we know that the NLBs are the cause we want to exclude the '

%SW_MATM-4-MACFLAP_NOTIF:' from the notifications without lowering the LEVEL to say LEVEL 3.

EIGRP logging is important to us hence why I need to keep the log LEVEL at notifications.

Is there a way to do this on the switch IOS?

!

logging esm config

logging history notifications

logging trap debugging

logging facility local6

logging source-interface Vlan1

logging 192.168.2.105

logging 172.26.1.54

snmp-server enable traps syslog

snmp-server host 172.27.1.43 public  eigrp syslog

!

Thanks

Check if this IOS supports exclude pattern. If it doesn't, apply filter on the syslog server.

I don't want to start using exclude patterns and wondered, looking at  the logging config i posted, if I could reduce the level to 3, which  will remove the mac flap msg, but using snmp-server host 172.27.1.43 public eigrp syslog will overide the syslog level 3 output and continue to send level 5 EIGRP status updates?
