SW4(config)#logging trap notifications

Check Contents

Review the Cisco switch configuration to verify that it is compliant with this requirement as shown in the example below:

logging trap notifications
logging x.x.x.x

Note: Default for sending log messages to the syslog server is informational (level 6); hence, the command logging trap informational will not be seen in the configuration. Level of log messages sent to the syslog server can be verified using the show logging command.
