Re: Syslog issues...

[Jeff Mayrand <jmayrand@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Its a Baynetworks SOHO RT328 I just wasnt sure what I needed to designate in
the syslog.conf.  Ill give it a try and see if it works....  Oh is the local7
something internal your cisco router?  Or is it something generic? 
 
					Thanks,
