[c-nsp] Setting the Remote Syslog Port in IOS

[Rick Coloccia]

Interesting approach.  I installed syslog-ng on my syslog server (CentOS 
5.2) and am filtering very extensively based on source host and pattern 
matching inside the trap.  I have lots of different files in place now 
based on what cisco device created the trap and what the message in the 
trap is.  But they are all the same facility.  You might find that a lot 
more useful.  Take a look at syslog-ng, and don't let it overwhelm you - 
it's not as bad as it looks to set up.  Assuming a linux box, you can 
leave your existing syslog in place, and just add this to a system to 
receive syslogs from over the network.  Very, very configurable.
