As an example, I will set up sending logs from the Huawei Quidway S2326TP-EI switch to the syslog server.
Let’s go into configuration mode:
system-view
Let’s specify the syslog server and logging level (note that not all models allow you to specify the log level):
info-center loghost 192.168.5.5 channel 2 log level error
If log level cannot be specified, then we will simply specify the syslog server and configure log level for channel 2:
info-center loghost 192.168.5.5 channel 2
info-center source default channel 2 log level error
info-center loghost ixnfo.com channel ?
INTEGER<0-9> Mask table number <0-9>
channel6 6 channel's name is channel6
channel7 7 channel's name is channel7
channel8 8 channel's name is channel8
channel9 9 channel's name is channel9
console 0 channel's name is console
logbuffer 4 channel's name is logbuffer
loghost 2 channel's name is loghost
monitor 1 channel's name is monitor
snmpagent 5 channel's name is snmpagent
trapbuffer 3 channel's name is trapbuffer
Let’s specify the switch hostname, as it will be displayed on the syslog server:
sysname IXNFO.COM
You can disable the output of informative messages to the switch log buffer (it will probably not be useful):
info-center source default channel 0 log level warning
Example of viewing the configuration:
display current-configuration | include info-center
display channel 2
display trapbuffer
Let’s exit the configuration mode and save the settings:
quit
save
