CISCO-4506 Syslog not able to set on UNIX server

[hiruannaofit]

CISCO 4506 Switch with supervisory engine,Release 12.1(19)EW is not able to logging Messages to a UNIX (SUN Server) Syslog Daemon.

I would like to set message logging level "7" (i.e.Debugging)

I have tried "set" command, which is not working at all. I have refered the following link:

http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/lan/c3550/12120ea2/3550scg/swlog.htm

Experimented the same but still this issue is open.

I have downloaded "CISCO NETWORK ASSISTANT" software and tried to set IP Address of my switch and access through the cisco network assistant software but not working.....even I am not able to set IP of my switch

Pls. do the needful and suggest me some appropriate steps.

Please do a show run on your switch and post the results here. I want to make sure that your switch ip address and network assignment will allow it to connect to the syslog server? Also tell me what the ip address of the syslog server is and post here, the syslog config as it is set on the Sun device.

# non-loghost machines will use the following lines to cause "user"

I hope this information is worth finding solution.

Hope to see u soon.
