Nexus 5k and Syslog output

[sdawson35]

Hello,

Quick question around syslog output , we have 2 5k's (5548 ver 5.2(1)N1(4)) running in VSS mode (connected back to back via the management interfaces).

We are not getting any syslog output to our syslog server from either 5548.

Can anyone give me some help on what configuration is needed to achieve syslog output ?

We are not using loopback adapters and management of the 5k's is via a routable vlan.

Regards

Scott.

have you configured syslog server in the switch?

Yes but we don't get any syslog output from the 2nd 5k , We are running 2 in a vss pairing.

So on SW1 we have

logging logfile messages 6
logging server 10.xx.x.xxx 6 use-vrf default
logging server 10.xx.x.xx 5 use-vrf default facility syslog
no logging monitor
logging level local7 6
no logging console

and SW2 we have

logging logfile messages 6
logging server 10.xx.x.xxx 7 use-vrf default
logging server 10.xx.x.xx 5 use-vrf default facility syslog
no logging monitor
logging level local7 6
no logging console

We get syslog to our syslog server from SW1 but never from SW2

eh 5ks don't do VSS do you mean VPC ? that should make no difference if there in VPC

have you tried reloading the effected 5k to clear any socket information

what does the show logging server provide
