Goal

How to configure a syslog server host on a Brocade FC switch

Solution

With new FOS 7.4.X, there is a new command syslogAdmin that is used to configure a syslog server host on the Brocade switch.

See a example of how to use this command on the Fabric OS Administrator’s Guide Supporting Fabric OS 7.4.0 "Configuring remote syslog servers"

For more information see the Fabric OS Command Reference Supporting Fabric OS v7.4.0

syslogAdmin
Configures a syslog server host.

SYNOPSIS
syslogadmin --set -ip ip_address [-secure [-port port_num]]
syslogadmin --set -facility level
syslogadmin --remove -ip ip_address
syslogadmin --show -ip | -facility
syslogadmin --help

Note. Before FOS 7.4.X, there were a set of commands used to configure this (now deprecated on FOS 7.4.0)

•syslogdFacility
•syslogdIpAdd
•syslogdIpRemove
•syslogdIpShow

For more information about these command see the previous "Fabric OS Command Reference" documents for FOS 7.2.0, 7.1.0, 6.4.0, etc...
