This command is used to add the sysname to the log to enable you to learn about the device that sends 
syslogs to the server.   
  Adding the Sequence Number to the Syslog

This command is used to add the sequence number to the log. The sequence number starts from 1. After 
the sequence number is added, you can learn clearly whether any log is lost and the generation sequence of 
logs.

missing at the end of the timestamp in the standard log format.
