A syslog server separates messages according to their facility type. This command states the facility to which messages generated by the router belong. Valid facilities are auth, cron, daemon, kern, lpr, mail, news, syslog, local0 through local7, sys9 through sys14, user, and uucp.
The following command configures the router to send syslog messages to the local7 facility:
#logging facility local7The behavior of the syslog server depends on its own configuration. With the following line in syslog.conf, the server saves local7 messages with a debugging severity to the file /var/log/debug-logfile:
local7.debug /var/log/debug-logfile
