RE: making a cisco router log to a different machine.

[Phillips, Steven W (Steve), GOVMK]

Before you turn logging on, make sure you know what you want to log and how
much of it. Cisco routers have seven different levels of log messages and
some of the most interesting are level 6 (Informational); not a level one
would think to watch closely.  If you misconfigure, you stand the very real
risk of eating up every last byte on your syslog server with useless and
uninteresting information and using up a lot a bandwidth (especially if the
messages are traversing a WAN link).
