Anyone have, or can easily get a list of options you can enable for logging on cisco switches in IOS and catos?

Hi,
Logging on Cisco Routers/Switches can be done in one of these 4 methods:
1.Console logging - Enabled by default ("logging console" under the global configuration) - The logging will pop-up to the terminal when you are connected via console.
2.Monitor logging - Disabled by default - The current terminal line (to the vty (telnet) sessions when "terminal monitor" is enabled - to disable use "terminal no monitor" - Exec enable mode not configuration mode) - pop-up logging on your screen like in the first method but it is not enabled by default (needs the "terminal monitor").
3.Buffer logging - The router internal logging buffer (use "logging buffered" then "show logging" to display the logs saved in the logging buffer (local RAM Buffer), but the main drawbacks here is the limited size of the buffer (retains only the newest Information) and that the log is lost if the router reloads since it is in the RAM - the last constrain can work around by saving the logging buffered to the flash via the logging file command).
4.Syslog logging - The syslog server (use "logging
On CatOS it is nearly identical:
4003 (enable) set logging ?
buffer Set logging buffer size
console Set logging console (enable/disable)
history Set logging history table size
level Set logging level
server Set logging server
session Set logging session (enable/disable)
timestamp Enable or disable logging timestamp

Hi Mohammed,
Do you know (or someone knows) why several of my Cisco WS-C6509-E does not support "logging origin-id" command?
Cisco documentation explains that this command introduced in 12.2(15)T, and integrated into 12.2(33)SXH
switchb(config)#logging ?
Hostname or A.B.C.D IP address of the logging host
buffered Set buffered logging parameters
buginf Enable buginf logging for debugging
cns-events Set CNS Event logging level
console Set console logging parameters
count Count every log message and timestamp last occurance
esm Set ESM filter restrictions
event Global interface events
exception Limit size of exception flush output
facility Facility parameter for syslog messages
filter Specify logging filter
history Configure syslog history table
host Set syslog server IP address and parameters
ip IP configuration
listen MWAM remote console and logging listen enabler
monitor Set terminal line (monitor) logging parameters
on Enable logging to all enabled destinations
rate-limit Set messages per second limit
reload Set reload logging level
source-interface Specify interface for source address in logging transactions
system enable/disable System Event Log
trap Set syslog server logging level
userinfo Enable logging of user info on privileged mode enabling

Thank you Rajat,
That´s exactly the point that I just want to confirm.
What should be the minimum IOS version that I require on my WS-C6509-E equipments to support "logging origin-id" command?
Cisco documentation says that this command was introduced in 12.2(15)T, and integrated into 12.2(33)SXH.
My Cisco switches have 12.2(33)SXH5 IOS version.......:(...and they do not support "logging origin-id" (as shown previously).

Any helpful?...It would be very appreciated.
