syslogdIpAdd

Configures a switch to forward system messages to specified servers.

SYNOPSIS syslogdipadd ip_address

DESCRIPTION Use this command to configure a switch to forward all error log entries to the syslog daemon (syslogd) of

one or more specified servers. The syslog daemon is a process available on most UNIX systems that

reads and forwards system messages to the appropriate log files or users, depending on the system

configuration. Up to six servers are supported.

Only one syslogd server can be specified at any given time. To configure more than one server, the

command must be executed for each server.

NOTES The execution of this command is subject to Virtual Fabric or Admin Domain restrictions that may be in

place. Refer to Chapter 1, "Using Fabric OS Commands" and Appendix A, "Command Availability" for

details.
