Hi all

On a related subject. I have seen questions in some of the workbooks which
ask you to enable logging for certain events. Now I guess they mean logging
traps, but does anyone know what actually constitutes each of the levels
below. I have done some searches but cannot find a definition.

Here are the groups I mean.

R2(config)#logging trap ?
  <0-7> Logging severity level
  alerts Immediate action needed (severity=1)
  critical Critical conditions (severity=2)
  debugging Debugging messages (severity=7)
  emergencies System is unusable (severity=0)
  errors Error conditions (severity=3)
  informational Informational messages (severity=6)
  notifications Normal but significant conditions (severity=5)
  warnings Warning conditions (severity=4)
  <cr>

Can you define these somewhere or is there a list somewhere in the depths of
CCO. Or are these something else entirely and I am missing the point.

This could be a silly question that is easily answered but to me it seems
puzzling.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Paul

Assuming we configured the syslog server to have each facility locating in
seperate file. For an example, facility local0 is located in file name
local0, facility local1 is in local1 file, facility local2 is in local2
file. If you are familiar with unix, it would be easy to see it. Then we
decide to configured cisco to send logging to facility local2 which mean the

messages will get into local2 file.

logging facility local2

Now you have to decide what level of the messages that we need to send and
locate in that local2 file. Asssume we need to send only level 4 and below
so we use

logging trap warning

Does this help?
