Configuring syslog Server Configuration Distribution
You can distribute the syslog server configuration to other switches in the network by using the Cisco Fabric
Services (CFS) infrastructure.
After you enable syslog server configuration distribution, you can modify the syslog server configuration and
view the pending changes before committing the configuration for distribution. As long as distribution is
enabled, the switch maintains pending changes to the syslog server configuration.
If the switch is restarted, the syslog server configuration changes that are kept in volatile memory might get
lost.
Note
Before you begin
You must have configured one or more syslog servers.
