Configure Cisco router to send messages to remote syslog server

 

Centralizing log messages to a sys log server can improve the managability of any size network and can decrease response times to resolve problems. Sending router log messages to a remote server also allows longer archiving of messages than in a router's limited storage. Messages stored by sys log have permanence that a router doesn't. When a router is reloaded or power cycled, the messges in its log are erased. This recipe describes the configuration steps required to make a router send messages to a remote syslog server .

To send messages to the syslog server at 192.168.51.4, use this command from enable mode:



conf t

logging 192.168.51.4



The remote server must, of course, be configured to act as a syslog server and accept messages from the router.
