Fix Recommendation

Configure the switch to send log messages to the syslog server as shown in the example below:

SW4(config)#logging host x.x.x.x
SW4(config)#logging trap notifications

Check Contents

Verify that the switch is configured to send logs to a central log server. The configuration should look similar to the example below:

logging trap notifications
logging x.x.x.x

Note: The default for sending log messages to the syslog server is informational (level 6); hence, the command logging trap information will not be seen in the configuration. The level of log messages sent to the syslog server can be verified using the show logging command.

If the switch is not configured to send log data to the syslog server, this is a finding.
