how do I implement buffered logging 1

[mrmoneymatters]

I need to enable buffered logging, it was suggested by our auditors. I have a 1721. Can you explain how to do this and what it does?

service timestamps debug datetime msec localtime show-timezone
service timestamps log datetime msec localtime show-timezone
logging buffered 51200 debugging
clock timezone PDST -7
ntp server XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX

This is what I have on my 2811 for logging.

You will want to have NTP time protocol setup correctly to log events with the correst date and time.

If you want to capture and retain the information then you could use something like the free Kiwi syslog server. See Link:

Thanks a lot JOAMON.

I was considering sending this info to a syslog server but the router is my perimiter router, outside the firewall and I figured it would be hard to get that information back inside my network without opening a bunch of holes.

Is there a secure way?

I am not sure you can encrypt the syslog data and if not encrypted could reveal privelaged info. There is probably a way but I have never tried it.
