Syslog Format RFC3164

skeff839 — Fri, 19 Mar 2021 20:10:08 GMT

Hello,

we have many different type of Extreme Networks Switches. I am beginning to add all our switches to a central syslog server which only accepts the RFC3164 standard.

What standard is Extreme Networks using? I guess not the RFC3164 beacuse I am getting Errors.

I am looking for a configuration for a ERS4950 Switch.

Best regards, Stefan

ERS supports syslog (RFC3164); is configured like this:

enable
configure terminal
logging remote address <IP1>
logging remote secondary-address <optional IP2>
logging remote enable
logging remote facility local4
logging remote level informational
