Then syslogd puts local6.* in /var/log/cisco and local5.* in /var/log/switch . This essentialy gives you a maximum of 6 seperate log files. If you need more than 6 you would have to use syslog-ng. Or you can have multiple devices to log to one file, in which case you would just configure the cisco's to log to the same host/facility.
