1. On Catalyst side

set logging server enable
set logging server A.B.C.D

where A.B.C.D is IP of your host

set logging server facility local4

local4 is syslogd local facility number (you can choose something from local1 to local7)

Choose logging level (e.g., 6=information)

set logging server severity 6
set logging level all 6 default

2. On HP-UX side

syslogd process runs by default. Just make customizations in its config file.

/etc/syslog.conf
...
*.info;mail.none; local4.none;
/var/adm/syslog/syslog.log
...
#Cisco syslogs
local4.* /var/adm/syslog/cisco.log
...
First line tells not to log Cisco info to common log, the second line tells where to store Cisco logs.

Hope this helps.

BR,

Don't forget, once you've changed syslog.conf, you'll need to make syslogd re-read the file

kill -HUP `cat /etc/syslog.pid`
