cable event syslog-server
Note
You can use the same SYSLOG server for both Cisco IOS event messages and for DOCSIS-style event
messages, but it might be more convenient to use separate servers for the two different message formats.
Use the
logging
ip-address
command in global configuration mode to set the IP address for the
Cisco IOS SYSLOG server. The DOCSIS SYSLOG server collects only event messages for DOCSIS
events, using the DOCSIS format, while the Cisco IOS server collects all event messages (including
DOCSIS events), but using the standard Cisco IOS message format.
Tip
For more information about DOCSIS SYSLOG services and event messages, see Section 4.4.2.2.2,
SYSLOG Message Format, in the
DOCSIS 1.1 Operations Support System Interface (OSSI)
Specification
(SP-OSSIv1.1-I06-020830). For more information about all cable-related event messages
that can be generated on the Cisco CMTS router, see the Cisco CMTS Error Message manual.
Examples
The following command sets the docsDevEvSyslog attribute with an IP address of 192.168.100.137:
Router#
configure terminal
Router(config)#
cable event syslog-server 192.168.100.137
Router(config)#
The following commands specifies different SYSLOG servers. The server at IP address 192.168.100.137
receives the DOCSIS-style event messages, and the server at IP address 192.168.100.138 receives the
Cisco IOS style messages.
Router#
configure terminal
Router(config)#
cable event syslog-server 192.168.100.137
Router(config)#
logging 192.168.100.138
Router(config)#
The following command sets the docsDevEvSyslog attribute to 0.0.0.0, which disables DOCSIS
SYSLOG services:
Router#
configure terminal
Router(config)#
no cable event syslog-server
Router(config)#
Note
You can also disable DOCSIS SYSLOG services with the
cable event syslog-server 0.0.0.0
command.
