Configuring System Logging for a TX Matrix Plus Router

From the perspective of the user interface, the routing matrix appears as a single router. The TX Matrix Plus router (also called the switch-fabric chassis SFC) controls all the T1600 or T4000 routers (also called the line-card chassis LCC) in the routing matrix.

To configure system logging for all routers in a routing matrix composed of a TX Matrix Plus router with connected T1600 or T4000 LCCs, include the syslog statement at the [edit system] hierarchy level on the SFC. The syslog statement applies to every router in the routing matrix.

• archive—Sets the size and number of log files on each router in the routing matrix. See Specifying Log File Size, Number, and Archiving Properties.
• console—Directs the specified messages to the console of each router in the routing matrix. See Directing System Log Messages to the Console.
• file—Directs the specified messages to a file of the same name on each router in the routing matrix. See Directing System Log Messages to a Log File.
• match—Limits the set of messages logged to a destination to those that contain (or do not contain) a text string matching a regular expression. See Using Regular Expressions to Refine the Set of Logged Messages.

  The separate match statement at the [edit system syslog host sfc0-master] hierarchy level applies to messages forwarded from the T1600 or T4000 LCCs to the SFC. See Configuring Optional Features for Forwarded Messages on a TX Matrix Plus Router.

• source-address—Sets the IP address of the router as the message source in system log messages when the messages are directed to the remote machines specified in all host hostname statements at the [edit system syslog] hierarchy level, for each router in the routing matrix. On a routing matrix composed of a TX Matrix Plus router with connected T1600 or T4000 LCCs, the address is not reported by the T1600 or T4000 routers in messages directed to the other Routing Engine on each router or to the TX Matrix Plus router. See Specifying an Alternative Source Address for System Log Messages.
• structured-data—Writes messages to a file in structured-data format. See Logging Messages in Structured-Data Format.
• time-format—Adds the millisecond, year, or both to the timestamp in each standard-format message. See Including the Year or Millisecond in Timestamps.
• user—Directs the specified messages to the terminal session of one or more specified users on each router in the routing matrix that they are logged in to. See Directing System Log Messages to a User Terminal.

The effect of the other statements differs somewhat for a routing matrix than for a single-chassis system.
