Hi All,
 
I'm trying to send cisco logs to a syslog server running Solaris 9. It's
logging fine except that I'm seeing some logs showing up in dmesg. 
 
Example of a dmesg outout:
 
Sep 21 13:44:16 [172.16.9.18.224.173] 3297: Sep 21 13:44:15.981 AEST:
%LINK-3-UPDOWN: Interface GigabitEthernet0/45, changed state to down
Sep 21 13:44:21 [172.16.9.18.224.173] 3298: Sep 21 13:44:20.956 AEST:
%LINK-3-UPDOWN: Interface GigabitEthernet0/45, changed state to up
Sep 21 13:48:38 agr1-cr-loopback-0.x.x.x 315047: Sep 21 13:48:37.756
AEST: %SNMP-3-AUTHFAIL: Authentication failure for SNMP req from host
83.143.128.1

I've tried changing the facility to local0.info on the cisco devices but
still the same thing is happening. Is there a particular facility I
should be using so the logs don't appear in dmesg???
 
This was the only thing I could find on goggle about my problem but no
real solution.

logging-to-linux-syslog.html
 
 
This is my /etc/syslog.conf file.
 
# Log cisco routers
local0.info                                     /var/log/cisco.log

 
And my config on the routers.
 
logging facility local0
logging source-interface Loopback0
logging 210.15.210.x

Thanks.
 
Andy
