Changing the Log Facility
The SyslogD daemon on the SyslogD server uses a facility to determine where to log the messages from the
Foundry device. The default facility for messages the Foundry device sends to the SyslogD server is “user”. You
can change the facility using the following command.
NOTE: You can specify only one facility. If you configure the Foundry device to use two SyslogD servers, the
device uses the same facility on both servers.
BigIron(config)# logging facility local0

The <facility-name> can be one of the following:
• kern – kernel messages
