Hostname in syslog messages

The syslog now messages the sender identified by hostname.

The hostname field identifies the switch that originally sends the syslog message. Configurable through the CLI and SNMP, the format of the hostname field supports the following formats:

• ip-address: The IP address of the sending interface will be used as the message origin identifier. This is the default format for the origin identifier. The IP address of the sending interface (in dotted decimal notation) is the default format.

• hostname: The hostname of the sending switch will be used as the message origin identifier.

• none: No origin identifier will be embedded in the syslog message. Nilvalue is used as defined by “-“.

This configuration is system-wide, not per syslog server. There is no support for fully-qualified domain name.
