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 local7
The 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
