SW3> (enable) set logging server 10.10.10.1

10.10.10.1 added to System logging server table.

In Example 7-17, the switch is pointed to the same syslog server at 10.10.10.1. Catalyst OS does not support a loopback interface and log messages are sent with a source address of sc0.

By default, syslog messages are not time stamped. This can cause major issues when attempting to troubleshoot the switch because not knowing when the message occurred can sometimes render the messages almost useless. In Example 7-18, a switch running native software is configured for time stamping of syslog messages and system debug messages.
