 describes the SNMP 

configuration parameters.

The Remote Logging (syslog) feature enables saving of the log information to a 
remote host that supports the syslog protocol. When enabled, the log entries are 
sent to the syslog host at the IP address that you specify in the Logging Host IP 
Address field. Log entries are saved in the internal switch log whether this feature 
is enabled or not.

To save log information to a remote host, you must edit the syslog.conf file and 
then restart the syslog daemon. The syslog.conf file on the remote host must 
contain an entry that specifies the name of the log file in which to save error 
messages. Add the following line to the syslog.conf file. A <tab> separates the 
selector field (local0.info) and action field which contains the log file path name (/
var/adm/messages/messages.name).

local0.info <tab> /var/adm/messages.name
